Why register an LLP?

An LLP is designed for businesses run by two or more people who want flexibility in how they operate, while still protecting their personal assets.

Unlike a standard partnership, an LLP is a separate legal entity. That means the business can enter contracts in its own name, and members are not personally liable for debts beyond their agreed contribution.

This structure is commonly used by professional services firms, consultants, and joint ventures where ownership and responsibility are shared.

What this gives you

Limited liability

Members are protected if the business runs into financial difficulty, provided they act properly and within the law.

A recognised business structure

Your LLP is registered with Companies House and can trade, invoice, and enter contracts in its own name.

Shared ownership and control

LLPs are designed for multiple people working together, with responsibilities and profit shares agreed between members.

Why people choose an LLP

  • They’re starting a business with more than one person
  • They want limited liability without a limited company
  • They need a recognised, professional structure
  • They want clear ownership and responsibility
Register an LLP

Is this right for you?

Registering an LLP makes sense when you already know you want to operate as a partnership with limited liability.

This is for you if:

  • You are setting up a business with two or more people
  • You want to share control and profits between members
  • You need limited liability but not a limited company

This isn’t for you if:

  • You are starting alone
  • You want the tax structure of a limited company
  • You want minimal ongoing admin

    Choose your LLP name

  2. 2

Popular FAQs

Still have questions? Here are the answers to some of the most common questions people ask about Duport.

If you’re looking for a company structure with the prestige of a traditional Partnership, but want to limit the liability of Partners, then this could be the ideal structure for you.

You must have a minimum of 2 Members in order to register your Limited Liability Partnership.

Restrictions on who can be a Member (or Partner) in an LLP can be set by the LLP itself in its Members’ Agreement, which is set out during the registration process.

To register your LLP you will need to provide the following details:

  • As the person setting up the business, you will need to provide your:
    • Phone number
    • Email address
  • All Members will need to provide their:
    • Full name
    • Occupation
    • Current address
    • Date of birth
    • Nationality
    • Security question & answer
  • Your business name
  • The address of your business

If you want to keep your business address, or the addresses of any Members off the public register, you can use our Service Address and Registered Office Address services which are available as extras during your registration.

IDs of all Members will be checked electronically, but in some cases we may need to request further proof of ID or address.

LLPs need to have their own account for business finances.

If you register with Duport, you can get a free business account as part of the process.

LLPs have annual filing requirements with both Companies House and HMRC. These include:

  • Confirmation Statement
  • Self Assessment Tax Returns for all Members
  • Statutory Accounts
  • Balance Sheet
  • Profit & Loss Account

If you don’t want to spend your time and energy keeping on top of all your financial and filing requirements, Duport have a range of Accountancy services that can manage it all for you.

If you are using a personal address as your Registered Office, or want to keep the addresses of Members private, then you can use Duport’s Service Address and Registered Office Address service to keep these details off the public register.

Yes, you can register from outside the UK, but you will need a UK Registered Office. If you don’t have a suitable address for this, you can use Duport’s Registered Office service.

You can cancel your order at any point. Refunds will only be issued if you have not accessed any of your purchased services.

Your right to a refund is waived if:

  • Your registration has been submitted to Companies House
  • OR
  • You have requested or viewed any digital ebooks or reports included in your purchase

Your initial registration is a one-off service. However you may order additional services that do need to be renewed annually. These can include:

  • Service Address and Registered Office Address services
  • Domain & hosting services
  • Accountancy services

Your Unique Taxpayer Reference or UTR is the number that HMRC uses to identify you as a self-employed person. It's what you will need to use to submit your Self Assessment Tax Return.
