Limited Liability Partnership Conversion

Is it for you?  If so what problems are there and how do you convert?

Whether you are a multi partner firm or a sole practitioner the question of should you convert your business into a LLP will come up not just once but on a regular basis.

LLPs bring both advantages and disadvantages:

• Same tax benefits as a general partnership
• Unlike members of ordinary partnerships, the LLP itself is responsible for any debts that it runs up, not the individual partners
• In an LLP one partner is not responsible or liable for another partner's misconduct or negligence
• However there are more administrative duties involved compared to the partnership business structure
• Some financial information about the firm will be made public

This is not a simple decision and we can help you through the process of deciding if conversion to a LLP is right for you and we can manage the process of  the conversion if you decide to go down this path.
