Often used by accountancy or law firms, an LLP helps protect partner liability.
This package includes:
£59.99
Save on legal costs and avoid expensive disputes by using our free draft LLP Agreement, prepared by our specialist partnership solicitors.
Without an LLP agreement, it is not possible to divide the share capital and profits other than equally, regardless of whether members of the LLP have invested different amounts. Also, in the absence of an agreement a member who is not performing cannot be removed from the LLP.
The applicable legislation will impose certain rights and obligations on the members which may not reflect their intentions. Having a written agreement in place gives members the opportunity to vary or exclude the default position imposed by law, and to establish an agreement in other areas.

If you're looking to start trading immediately or very soon, then our Basic Package is the cheapest way to get a limited by shares company up and running. However, if you want to open a bank account we recommend the Comprehensive or Ultimate packages which include a printed Certificate of Incorporation and printed Share Certificates, (most banks require printed copies of the official documentation when opening up business accounts). Alternatively, if you simply want to secure your chosen company name for the future, then you can reserve your company name.

Limited companies are required to file confirmation statements and annual accounts with Companies House. If you choose the Comprehensive or Ultimate Package, we take care of the Confirmation Statement for you.

As a director of a limited company you must act in the best interests of the company and not necessarily yourself.
