Limited liability partnerships (LLPs)

Check that you have all the required information and register your LLP now.

The limited liability partnership (LLP) is a hybrid, a cross between a partnership and a limited company. It makes an ideal format for a professional partnership or a small business where there are at least two members. It is simple to operate and very flexible. Like a limited company, an LLP is a separate legal entity which gives full limited liability to its members. It must be registered at Companies House. There must be at least two members, but there is no upper limit. Like a company, it must register its accounts annually and send an annual return to Companies House.
