business with a view of profit’. A partnership may be formed
irrespective of contrary intention.

will sue, own property jointly and enter contracts jointly. If
partnership goes insolvent, creditors can enforce debt against the
partners personally.

have a Partnership Agreement drawn up by the lawyers (this
may be expensive)

necessary, although must pay for accountants.

• Management structure of the business: In accordance with
the Partnership Agreement, however if no agreement, the
default provisions in the PA 1980 step in.

a floating charge. In addition, they also cannot raise finance
by issuing shares.

LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP (LLP)
An LLP is a hybrid as it has flexibility of a partnership with the added
advantage of limited liability for its members – Common for Law
firms.

An LLP has a separate legal entity from its members. But for tax
purposes, it is treated as partnership and the members will be
taxed as partners, each being liable to pay tax on his share of the
income of the LLP.

• Number of persons needed for set up: 2 persons min

• Expenses when setting up: Low costs, but must pay legal fees
for Partnership Agreement.
Requirements:
o Registration fee + incorporation document
o Legal fees for setting up Partnership Agreement
o Printing of LLP stationery

• On-going expenses after the business is set up:
o 2008 Regs Accounts must be prepared by accountants
annually. LLPs that do not qualify as ‘small’ must file
audited accounts.
o SBEEA 2015 file a confirmation statement min once a
year, higher costs due to regulation and disclosure rules.

• Management structure of the business: Apart from a few
default provisions, the LLPA and regulations leave matters of
governance to a partnership agreement (if one exists). There is
therefore nothing about the calling of (or procedures at)
meetings. Pros of an LLP (along with limited liability) of the
few formalities for management procedure.

• Method of financing: LLP can borrow and create floating
charges, if it is underwritten by a member’s personal
guarantee, limited liability is removed. Cannot raise finance by
issuing shares.

• Liability: Different types of partners – general partners
(unlimited liability) + limited partners.

• Legislation:
1. LLPs Act 2000
2. LLPs Regulation 2001 – Default provisions on capital
and profit share between members.
