The Louisiana Application of Registered Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a document filed with the Louisiana Secretary of State's Office that registers a limited liability partnership with the state. This document is used when two or more individuals or entities wish to form a business entity with limited liability protection. It is important to note that this type of business entity is not recognized in every state, so it is important to research the laws of the state in which the business is being formed to ensure that this type of business is available. The Louisiana Application of Registered Limited Liability Partnership contains important information about the partnership, including the names and addresses of the partners, the name of the business, and the purpose of the partnership. This document is also used to disclose any potential conflicts of interest between the partners. Once the application has been filed with the Louisiana Secretary of State, the LLP is considered to be registered in the state. There are two types of Louisiana Application of Registered Limited Liability Partnership: a Certificate of Limited Liability Partnership, and an Application for Certificate of Limited Liability Partnership. The Certificate of Limited Liability Partnership is used to register an existing business as an LLP, while the Application for Certificate of Limited Liability Partnership is used to form a new LLP. Both documents require the same information about the partnership and its partners, and must be filed with the Louisiana Secretary of State.
