LLP - Limited Liability Partnership

All businesses face risks, but members of partnerships used to have the extra worry of potentially having to cover their partners' debts as well as their own. Now partnerships can also have limited liability. By registering as a Limited Liability Partnership(LLP) they keep their relationship and tax status but add the same kind of protection that limited companies have had for years.

Tax

The partners of a Limited Liability Partnership are treated for tax in the same way as if they were sole traders or members of a traditional (unlimited) partnership. In other words, they are "self-employed". Whether this is good or bad depends on individual circumstances, so it is wise to seek your accountant's advice.

Designated Partners.

Designated Partners are the LLP members who are held responsible for maintaining the Partnership in good standing at Companies House

Just like the Directors or Company Secretary in a limited company, they must ensure that the LLP files an Annual Return and Accounts. Each LLP must name at least two of its Partners as Designated Partners. If the LLP only has two Partners they will automatically be "designated".
