A limited partnership (LP) is not a limited liability partnership (LLP).
A limited partnership is usually a type of investment partnership, often used as investment vehicles for investing in such assets as real estate, businesses, securities etc…
An LP is a partnership made up of two or more partners. The general partner oversees and runs the business while limited partners do not partake in managing the business. The general partner has unlimited liability for the debt, and any limited partners have limited liability up to the amount of their investment.
