LLP accounts include corporate bank, associate, and tax accounts. LLPs can establish trade credit relationships, utility billings, and memberships with private organizations. Regulations and tax requirements vary by jurisdiction. LLPs can also establish utility and trade credit partnerships.
Individual LLP accounts may include corporate bank accounts, associate accounts and tax accounts. Like corporations and other corporate structures, a limited liability company is a corporate entity and, as such, may establish accounts with other corporate entities. For example, trade credit relationships and utility billings can be established with LLP accounts.
Since limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships are primarily used to conduct certain types of business transactions, most jurisdictions will also allow these entities to possess individual government tax identification numbers. With this information, partners are able to create LLP accounts for banking purposes, such as business checking, savings and investment accounts. While it is necessary for one or more partners to physically carry out bank transactions, LLP accounts such as this one help partners keep cash reserves separate from personal ones, as well as maintain orderly commercial bank statements which are useful for private and public accounting records .
Memberships to things like discount vendors and private organizations can sometimes be established with LLP accounts. The likelihood of gaining access to this type of LLP account largely depends on the regulations of the issuing organization. It is not unusual, however, for exclusive membership accounts to be granted to a limited liability company and, therefore, giving individual partners access to special discounts for commercial items, as well as information and trading networks that serve as a benefit to the company .
Variations of the structure of the LLP exist in different countries around the world. In each jurisdiction, the different rules governing these entities and the type of accounts they can participate in vary. In places like the US and the UK, limited liability partnerships are not subject to full corporate taxation. However, these entities are required to pay an annual tax to the jurisdiction where these partnership agreements were entered into. LLP accounts are set up with the appropriate governing bodies in these countries in order to permit and track tax payments.
Utility and trade credit can also be established with LLP accounts. Sometimes it may be necessary to apply for a credit partnership to make business purchases on behalf of an LLP. The terms of accepting such credit usually have to be agreed in advance by the major partners. In some cases, one or more partners may even be required to act as guarantor before credit approval is granted. A business operating as an LLP may also be authorized to open utility accounts in the company’s name.
