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.

The toolkit also includes a free 2-month trial to FreeAgent, easy-to-use small business accounting software that helps keep you on top of all your business finances.
Our Comprehensive and Ultimate Packages take care of some of the things that your accountant would normally do, such as preparing and filing your company's Confirmation Statement. With the Ultimate Package and the Contractor package, we'll also register your limited company for VAT* with HMRC. Less work for your accountant equals lower fees for you.
*As a default we will process applications as Standard VAT Applications. We can process Flat Rate VAT Registrations but you will need to request this when you complete the VAT application form.
