I did! I set up the LLP on the advice of an accountant and I'm getting conflicting responses from other accountants on running it as an LLP vs as Limited company.

1. Go get an accountant
2. Do a search
3. Go get an accountant

I'm attempting to start my own operations bidding farewell to an umbrella company I was with so far. I was advised to set up an LLP instead of a Limited company and that's what I did. I have since been questioned on this numerous times and been advised to close down the LLP and start another Limited company but haven't got any strong reasons why I should not operate as an LLP. I've heard that IR-35 does not apply to an LLP.

Any advice for or against an LLP before I go through closing the LLP and starting a Limited company.
