A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) shares many features with a traditional partnership, where two or more parties agree to work together for mutual benefit.
A key difference between these forms of partnership is that an LLP offers reduced personal responsibility for any business debts or liabilities. The LLP (similar to a Limited Company, an “LTD”) is primarily responsible for any liabilities, not the individual partners, because it is a separate legal entity to its partners.
A clear, well-drafted partnership agreement is fundamental to the smooth running of any partnership, and helps provide business continuity in the event of a dispute. They also help outline such things as: partners’ responsibilities, decision-making criteria, capital contributions, distribution of monies, and drawings.
