Maryland Limited Liability Partnership Registration (Foreign LLP) is a business structure available to businesses operating in the state of Maryland that are owned by two or more individuals. It combines the limited liability of a corporation with the pass-through taxation of a partnership, providing business owners with protection from personal liability for their business debts and obligations. Foreign LLP registration is required for businesses whose primary business is outside the state of Maryland, but wishes to operate in the state. The types of Maryland Limited Liability Partnership Registration (Foreign LLP) include Qualifying Foreign LLP, Qualifying Foreign Series LLP, and Series LLP. Qualifying Foreign LLP requires a business to register with the state of Maryland and must have a resident agent in Maryland.

Series LLP is a type of Limited Liability Partnership that allows the creation of multiple, separate cells, each of which is a separate and distinct legal entity. It is designed for businesses operating in multiple states that need to have a common framework for their operations.
