A limited liability partnership offers its members the security of limited financial liability with the more flexible internal structure offered by a traditional partnership.
A limited liability partnership is commonly used by industry professionals who normally work in partnerships, such as solicitors, architects and accountants, but who wish to protect their personal finances by way of limited liability.
It is not a legal requirement to produce a Partnership Agreement, though it is recommended. This can help to prevent any disputes over partners' rights.
A limited liability partnership must have at least 2 members (partners) to be registered with Companies House. There is no upper limit to the number of partners an LLP can have.
The confirmation statement is a document that must be filed annually, providing Companies House with up-to-date information about your company. This package includes the preparation and filing of your first confirmation statement.
Please note: This service does not include the Companies House filing fee of £50.00. At the time of filing your first confirmation statement, we will take payment of £50.00 using your payment card details securely stored in your account.
This service is renewable annually at the cost of £75.99 (including £50 Companies House Fee).
During the company formation order process, you will be asked to select a business bank account referral from up to 7 of our banking partners, including Barclays, Natwest, Monzo, Tide and HSBC.
