A limited liability partnership is popular with professionals who normally operate as a partnership, such as solicitors, doctors, and architects.
An LLP does not have any directors, shareholders, or guarantors. Instead, it has members who are more commonly referred to as ‘partners’. You must have at least 2 members to register an LLP.
LLP’s are taxed as partnerships, meaning they are not liable for corporation tax but each member is personally responsible for paying income tax and national insurance on their individual profit.
You need to make an LLP agreement with any other members as part of setting up your LLP.
This outlines: how the LLP is run, how profits are shared among the members, who is the decision-maker, what are the responsibilities of each member, and how members can join or leave the LLP
