Overview

Partnership flexibility with limited liability

An LLP is a flexible business structure that blends partnership features with limited liability protection.

Professional service providers, consultants, advisory firms, family businesses, partner-led ventures, and businesses that prioritise internal flexibility often consider it. Partners can set out their commercial understanding in an LLP agreement covering capital contribution, profit sharing, management rights, decision-making, admission and exit of partners, duties, restrictions, and internal governance.

The process

What it involves

An LLP may suit businesses that do not need share capital or investor-style ownership. It offers internal flexibility while providing a formal registered identity. An LLP is not free from compliance: it must maintain proper accounts, file annual returns, meet tax obligations, and preserve partner records.

Eraqus helps partners assess whether an LLP fits, and supports partner documentation, designated partner details, registration, agreement coordination, contribution planning, and compliance awareness.
