Limited Partnership Formation

Price: £190.00

A Limited Partnership Formation is a type of partnership which is registered with the Limited Partnership Act 1907. This type of partnership requires 2 or more people, at least 1 person to act as the General Partner who has management authority and personal liability, and at least 1 person to act as the Limited Partner who is an investor and has no management authority. The General and Limited Partners must enter into the Limited Partnership by either oral or written agreement.

Why choose a Limited Partnership Registration?

  • A Limited Partnership’s income is not taxed at the business level. Instead, business profit and loss are passed through to the partners for reporting on their personal tax returns
  • The liability for debts that cannot be paid in a Limited Partnership is split among the partners within the company
  • Limited Partnerships can generate capital investments by adding more limited partners

The Partner’s responsibilities differ as:

General Partner:

  • Responsible for managing the business
  • Make permanent decisions within the company
  • Liable for the debts the business cannot pay

Limited Partner:

  • Only liable for debts up to the amount contributed
  • Cannot manage the business
  • Investor of the Limited Partnership

Timescale

On average it takes around 5 working days to register a Limited Partnership
