An LLP provides partners with limited personal liability for business debts, protecting their personal assets while allowing management flexibility.

While both LLPs and LLCs provide limited liability to their owners, they differ in management and regulatory structures. LLPs typically involve partners who actively manage the business and are commonly used by professional groups, whereas LLCs can have members who are passive owners and offer more flexible management options.Tax treatment also varies, with LLPs often taxed as partnerships, allowing income to pass through to partners, whereas LLCs have options for different tax classifications.

LLPs in Arizona typically do not pay separate business taxes; instead, income and losses pass through to individual partners, who report them on their personal tax returns.
