In such instances, they are known as \u2018corporate members\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3>How to appoint a designated member<\/h3>\n<p>Every limited liability partnership is required to formally appoint a minimum of two designated members. If your LLP has only two members at any time, both members will be designated. If you do not nominate at least two designated members, Companies House will automatically deem all members as designated.<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/services\/confirmation-statement\/\" class=\"related related-buy\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span class=\"related-title related-buy-title\">Our Confirmation Statement Service<\/span><\/a>\n        \n<p>Designated members can be appointed during and after the incorporation process. You can change the status of any member from designated to ordinary, and vice versa, at any time.<\/p>\n<h4>Appointing a designated member during LLP incorporation<\/h4>\n<p>To appoint a designated member during the LLP incorporation process, you must check a box under section B1 (individual member) or section C1 (corporate member) of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/register-a-limited-liability-partnership-ll-in01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Companies House form LL IN01<\/a> to indicate that a particular member consents to be designated.<\/p>\n<p>However, if all members are to be appointed as designated members, you will select \u2018Yes, in section A5 of the form. Alternatively, if you incorporate your LLP company with Quality Company Formations&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/formation-packages\/#LLP\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">LLP Package<\/a>, you will be given the option to select a member as a designated member via a tick box.<\/p>\n<h4>Appointing a new designated member after incorporation<\/h4>\n<p>To appoint a new LLP member who consents to act as a designated member, Companies House form LL AP01 must be completed and filed within 14 days. In section 3 under \u2018Appointment type\u2019, select \u2018Yes\u2019 to indicate that the person consents to being appointed as a designated member rather than an ordinary member. To appoint a new corporate member, form LL AP02 must be used instead.<\/p>\n<h4>Changing the designated status of existing LLP members<\/h4>\n<p>To change the status of an existing LLP member from ordinary to designated, or designated to ordinary, Companies House form LL CH01 must be completed and filed within 14 days. In section 7 of the form, check the relevant box to indicate that the person consents to act as either a &#8216;designated member of the LLP\u2019 or \u2018member of the LLP\u2019.<\/p>\n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/blog\/guide-to-different-types-of-partnerships\/\" class=\"related\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span class=\"related-title\">A guide to the different types of partnerships<\/span><\/a>\n                    \n<p>To change the details of a corporate member, form LL CH02 must be used instead.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if an existing LLP wishes to change its status from all members being designated to only specified members being designated, or vice versa, Companies House form LL DE01 should be filed. Where appropriate, form LL CH01 or LL CH02 may also have be filed to identify the existing members who consent to act as designated members.<\/p>\n<h3>Defining members\u2019 responsibilities in an LLP agreement<\/h3>\n<p>The rights, duties, and responsibilities of LLP members are set out in the LLP Act 2000 and the LLP Regulations 2001, but it is advisable to also prepare a written LLP Agreement before setting up a limited liability partnership.<\/p>\n<p>This important document, which becomes legally binding once agreed upon and signed by all members, clarifies how the partnership must operate, including information about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the mutual rights and duties of all members<\/li>\n<li>the rights, duties, and responsibilities of designated members<\/li>\n<li>the defined roles and specified rights of individual members (i.e. to reflect specific duties, specialties, and seniority)<\/li>\n<li>the investment contribution of each member<\/li>\n<li>the distribution of profits (or losses) and capital<\/li>\n<li>regulating decision-making procedures<\/li>\n<li>membership requirements<\/li>\n<li>the procedure for the appointment of new members<\/li>\n<li>the procedure for the resignation or retirement of existing members<\/li>\n<li>dispute resolution<\/li>\n<li>what should happen in the event of an LLP member\u2019s incapacitation or death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whilst optional, it\u2019s good practice to put in place a carefully drafted LLP agreement, especially when there is variation between the rights and duties of different members. You can create your own LLP agreement, but it is often best to consult a solicitor for specialist help and advice.<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/services\/registered-office-address\/\" class=\"related related-buy\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span class=\"related-title related-buy-title\">A Central London Registered Office Address - \u00a339.00 per year<\/span><\/a>\n        \n<p>In the absence of an LLP agreement, the default rules in the LLP Act and LLP Regulations will govern how the LLP operates. This means that all members will be treated equally, with equal voting rights and profit entitlement, which may not be appropriate for the LLP nor accurately reflect the contribution of individual members.<\/p>\n<h3>Register a limited liability partnership online<\/h3>\n<p>An LLP is now the most popular incorporated business structure for industry professionals, like solicitors and accountants, who generally operate as partnerships. The most significant benefit of registering an LLP instead of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/blog\/guide-to-different-types-of-partnerships\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">traditional partnership<\/a> is the limited liability provided to each LLP member.<\/p>\n<p>At Quality Company Formations, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/formation-packages\/#LLP\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">LLP registration package<\/a> is available for just \u00a369.99 plus VAT, offering excellent value and providing online incorporation in 3 to 6 working hours.
