Partnership in UK

Advantages and disadvantages of LLP

 

Limited Liability Partnership can be considered as a new type of business structure introduced by the Limited Partnerships Act 2000. The advantages and disadvantages of partnership in UK are discussed as below

 

The common type of partnership in UK is LLP. Similar to limited company, LLP is capable of doing thing of what an individual can do. It is allowed to make contracts, sue or the other way round, possess property or even facing bankruptcy. A LLP cannot be classified the same as limited partnership, although LLP follows closely of the traditional partnership agreement.

 

LLP as a corporate entity, the general law’s effect on it is different compared to partnership. For instance, a third party has the tendency to contract with the LLP itself instead of an individual member of LLP.

 

Although LLP is somewhat similar to a limited company, the members of LLP are not employees in comparison with directors of a limited company which is considered the company’s employees as well.

 

Is partnership agreement necessary? Partners in a LLP are not compulsory to engage themselves in a formal partnership agreement. Usually, they will get together to discuss and decide on the terms and regulation in their LLP. The agreement they made will be enforced once it has been properly registered.

 

Limited liability serves as a base where it contains a partnership regardless of the size where partners may be at risk due to the negligence of the other partner. LLP structure is suitable for a group of professionals, engaging themselves in a property. LLP might not be useful for small companies because a traditional limited company is already able to perform their role at a much lower cost. Partnership in UK has its advantages and disadvantages. The benefits of LLP are:

 

1. The agreement is confidential
2. Shares between partners can be manipulated easily
3. Changes of membership would be easier
4. Simpler structure

 

The disadvantages would be:

 

1. Uncertainty
2. Short of law body to protect the minorities
