LLP Form 18
Application to Convert a Company into an LLP
Due: Filed with the incorporation application
Form 18 is filed when an existing private or public company wants to convert into an LLP. Like Form 17, it doesn’t stand alone — it’s filed together with FiLLiP, the LLP incorporation form.
The application goes through the Central Registration Centre (CRC) rather than a regional Registrar, since it’s processed as part of the same centralised incorporation workflow used for all new LLPs.
Once approved, the company is struck off the register of companies and its business, assets, and liabilities continue under the new LLP. Shareholders become partners in the LLP, in line with the conversion scheme they approved.
