Scotland Offshore

LP company, a Limited Partnership, is a legal form of business whose main feature is that it combines the characteristics of a limited liability company and an ordinary partnership. What it shares with limited companies is the ability to have the status of a legal entity, which made it possible to separate the status of the partnership from that of its members, the partners; accordingly, LP members bear limited liability, unlike in an ordinary partnership. What an LP shares with an ordinary partnership is organisational flexibility and tax status.

However, there are some restrictions on the choice of activities: insurance, banking, consumer lending, recruitment.

An LP is an excellent alternative to classic offshore companies in terms of taxation, while at the same time having the status of a prestigious jurisdiction.
