Closure of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
Closure of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a legal business structure that combines the benefits of a partnership with the limited liability protection of a corporation. It is a popular choice for professional firms, such as law firms and accounting firms, because it allows partners to share profits and manage the business while protecting their personal assets from business debts and liabilities.
There may be a variety of reasons why an LLP may decide to close its business. These reasons may include the retirement or departure of one or more partners, the loss of key clients, financial difficulties, or a change in the business environment. It is important for the LLP to ensure that all debts and liabilities are settled and that the LLP’s affairs are properly wound up by following the proper legal procedures when closing its business, regardless of the reason.
