The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has commenced the registration of two new forms of business registrations pursuant to CAMA 2020.

This was revealed by the Registrar General of CAC, Alhaji Garba Abubakar, in a statement issued and signed by his media aide, Rasheed Mahe.

Abubakar said that the development followed the successful deployment of the Online Application for Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) and Limited Partnerships (LPs).

The Registrar General described the LLP as a partnership arrangement with a legal personality, separate from the partners.

He added that the liabilities of the partners of an LLP were limited to the amount agreed to be contributed or outstanding in the event of winding up.
