Setting Up Your Kids' Activity Venture: A Playful Guide to LLP Formation

What is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)?

An LLP, or Limited Liability Partnership, is a legal business structure that combines elements of both partnerships and limited companies. In an LLP, the partners have limited personal liability for the debts and actions of the business, similar to the shareholders of a limited company. This means that the personal assets of the partners are generally protected if the business incurs debts or faces legal action. 

For children's activity providers, forming a LLP can have several advantages, particularly when it comes to managing business structure, personal liability, and financial matters
