Limited liability partnership (LLP)

A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a partnership whose members have limited personal liability — combining the flexibility of a partnership with the protection of a company.

Definition

An LLP is a body corporate whose members are not usually personally liable for the LLP's debts beyond their investment, unlike a general partnership. It offers limited-liability protection with partnership-style flexibility.

In plain terms

It is a halfway house: you run it like a partnership, but your personal assets are largely protected as they would be in a limited company.

Why it matters for your company

Structure affects borrowing and liability. An LLP or limited company protects members better than a general partnership. Note Credicorp lends to UK limited companies.
