The formation of an LLP establishes a Separate Legal Entity from its partners. It is a significant benefit that a standard partnership business does not have.

Flexible Agreement
It is also straightforward to transfer ownership of an LLP. A person can simply be named as a partner, and ownership of the company is transferred to them.
