The Connecticut Certificate of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a form of business entity in the state of Connecticut that is created when two or more individuals form a partnership and register with the Connecticut Secretary of State. It is a hybrid of a corporation and a partnership, offering some advantages of both. With an LLP, the partners are not personally liable for the debts or obligations of the business, shielding their personal assets from any potential legal action. In Connecticut, there are two types of LLP: the Regular LLP and the Professional LLP. A Regular LLP is a partnership that is not in the business of providing professional services, such as accounting, legal, or medical services. A Professional LLP is a partnership that is formed for the purpose of providing professional services. In order to register an LLP in Connecticut, the partners must file a Certificate of Limited Liability Partnership with the Secretary of State. This Certificate must include the name of the LLP, the address of its principal office, the names and addresses of the partners, and the name and address of the registered agent. The Certificate must also be signed by at least one of the partners. Once the Certificate is filed and approved, the LLP is officially registered and can begin doing business.
