Features of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
Here are the key features of an LLP:
Separate Legal Entity: An LLP is a body corporate with a legal personality separate from its partners, meaning it can own property, sue, and be sued in its own name.
Hybrid Form of Organization: An LLP combines features of both partnership firms and companies, offering flexibility and limited liability to partners.
Professional Suitability: LLPs are particularly well-suited for professional services firms (e.g., law firms, accounting firms) where limited liability is desirable, and professional autonomy is maintained.
Designated Partners: LLPs must have at least two designated partners, at least one of whom must be a resident in Nigeria.
Body Corporate: An LLP can have individuals, LLPs (domestic or foreign), or companies (private or public) as partners, including other corporations.
Limited Liability: Partners have limited liability, meaning they are not personally liable for the debts of the LLP beyond their capital contributions.
Perpetual Succession: An LLP continues to exist regardless of changes in the partnership, such as the addition or withdrawal of partners, ensuring business continuity.
No Maximum Limit on Partners: There is no upper limit on the number of partners in an LLP, though it must have at least two partners.
Benefits of LLP Registration
Here are the key benefits of registering a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP):
Enhanced Credibility: Registration of LLP status demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and legitimacy.
Reduced Personal Risk: Partners are shielded from personal liability for the LLP’s debts, safeguarding personal assets from business liabilities.
Pass-Through Taxation: The LLP itself is not taxed. Instead, profits and losses are passed through to the partners, who report them on their tax returns, potentially avoiding double taxation.
Business Continuity: The LLP remains unaffected by the exit or death of a partner, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
Transferable Ownership: Partnership interests in an LLP can be transferred, subject to the terms of the LLP agreement.
Improved Credibility for Financing: LLPs are seen as more formal and reliable than traditional partnerships, making it easier to secure loans and attract investors.
Exclusive Business Name Use: Protects the business name from being used by others.
