Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) are a general partnership where all partners have limited liability as to other partner’s debts and liabilities due to misconduct. Except for a very few special provisions, it is subject to the same rules as a general partnership. There are four primary differences between LLPs and general partnerships: (1) they are formed in different ways; (2) they may have different requirements concerning insurance or financial responsibility; (3) specific steps may need to be taken in order to maintain LLP status; and (4) the liability of general partners is significantly different.

Limited Partnerships are partnerships with at least one general partner and at least one limited partner. They can only be formed by filing a written document which names the partners. The biggest distinctions between general and limited partnerships have to do with management rights and limited liability of the limited partners. The Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act established this business structure and provides the regulations for creating, operating, and dissolving limited partnerships.

There are three aspects of the LLC that are enticing for new businesses: (1) it can be taxed as a partnership, as a corporation (if such an election is granted by the I.R.S.), or as a disregarded entity if there is only a single member; (2) it is an extremely flexible form of business both in terms of options when creating the business and options about how it is to operate; and (3) it offers all members limited liability.
