Register your LLP

You can register your limited liability partnership (LLP) yourself by post or using approved software, or through an agent.

You'll be sent a certificate of incorporation once your LLP's been registered.

Register electronically

You can use third-party software to register your LLP.

It usually takes 24 hours for your LLP to be registered using third-party software. You can get your LLP registered the same day if you apply before 3pm and pay a higher fee.

What you pay will depend on the software you use.

Use an agent

You can use a formation agent to register your LLP for you.

What you pay depends on the agent.
