Administrative matters

Administration

The designated members of the limited liability partnership (LLP) are responsible for delivering documents to and receiving documents from Companies House on behalf of the LLP. For example, whenever new members are appointed or members leave the LLP, the designated members must tell Companies House. The designated members also:

  • appoint an auditor where this is needed;
  • sign and deliver the LLP accounts;
  • prepare, sign and deliver the LLP's confirmation statement to Companies House; and
  • act on behalf of the LLP if it's wound up.

Keeping a register

The LLP must report to Companies House information about members and their residential addresses and ensure that information is updated as soon as changes are made.
