UK LLP Formation | Limited Liability Partnership

Register a limited liability partnership as a separate entity at Companies House — suitable when the activity is a professional partnership between two or more people rather than a traditional share company.

How remote UK company formation works in practice

A UK Private Limited Company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity registered at Companies House. Non-resident founders can form one remotely through structured identity verification support. Eteform handles the filing and checks in 24–48 working hours. Six service packages start from $299; the $135 Companies House fee is shown separately.

After incorporation you receive a CRN and digital documents. Many founders then open Wise Business or Revolut Business, set a London registered office if needed, and prepare for Stripe, Shopify or Amazon using matching company details. Annual duties typically include the Confirmation Statement (CS01), accounts, and Corporation Tax registration with HMRC when trading starts. Dormant companies still have lighter filing duties — they are not a full exemption from Companies House.

UK company formation does not grant UK residency or a visa. Eteform guarantees legal, complete execution of every request, and bank or payment-gateway approval when all requirements are fully met — with a correctly filed, transparent entity and Arabic support from order to certificate. Compare packages, read the formation guide, or start your order with clear USD pricing.

LLP nature in practical legal terms

An LLP is a separate legal personality from the partners, with flexibility in profit-sharing and management through a partnership agreement. Liability for the entity’s debts is limited in the correct framework, but neglecting compliance or giving personal bank guarantees is a different matter — do not confuse the two.

How is an LLP formed?

  • Identify designated members — usually at least two
  • Choose an English name and a UK registered office
  • Describe the activity and an appropriate SIC
  • Verify partners’ identities through an ACSP
  • File registration with Companies House and receive the documents

When to prefer an LLP over a Limited company

  • An accountancy, law or consulting practice with two or more partners
  • A wish for a flexible internal profit agreement without a complex share structure
  • A professional activity presented to clients as a partnership, not a goods-trading company

When Ltd remains the smarter choice

  • An online shop, Amazon, or SaaS subscriptions
  • A plan for investors or share transfers later
  • Payment platforms and banks that expect an Ltd structure by default

What we prepare at formation

Designated members, a UK registered office, activity description, and completed identity verification. We recommend drafting an internal partnership agreement with your legal adviser — Companies House registration does not replace a clear agreement between partners on exit, voting and profits.

Obligations after registration

An LLP files a Confirmation Statement and accounts according to its size and activity. Deadlines resemble companies but the details differ. Our pricing depends on the number of partners and file complexity — request a quote before you start.

FAQ about this service

Minimum number of partners?

In practice at least two designated members are required in most cases. We confirm the number and requirements on your file before filing.

Can a non-resident be a partner?

Yes in many cases with ACSP identity verification and a UK registered office. We review the country of residence before starting.

Do Stripe and Wise accept LLPs?

Some platforms prefer Ltd. If your goal is a payment gateway or shop, Ltd is usually clearer. We discuss that before choosing the structure.

Is an internal agreement mandatory for registration?

Companies House does not always require uploading the partnership agreement, but it is essential in practice between partners. We recommend a legal adviser to draft it.

How much does it cost?

It varies by number of partners and file complexity. Request a quote via Order formation or WhatsApp before paying. See also Packages and Packages.
