Limited Liability Partnership

A Limited Liability Partnership is a partnership that provides liability protection for all limited partners. There must be at least one limited partner and at least one general partner.  Registering as a limited liability partnership is available for either general partnerships or limited partnerships.

A domestic (Pennsylvania) Limited Liability Partnership must elect to file as either Limited or General.  However, an enterprise may only elect to file as Limited if it had previously registered with the Pennsylvania Department of State as a Limited Partnership by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership.  A domestic Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is formed by filing a Statement of Registration on form DSCB: 15-8201A with the Corporation Bureau, Department of State.
 
A foreign (non-Pennsylvania) Limited Liability Partnership may file to conduct business in Pennsylvania completing an Application for Registration, form DSCB:15-8582.  

The Statement of Registration and Application for Registration can be completed online through the Online Business Registration Interview (OBRI).
