The General Scheme of the Registration of Limited Partnerships and Business Names Bill 2024 (the “General Scheme”) was recently published which seeks to repeal and replace both the existing Limited Partnerships Act 1907 (the “1907 Act”) and the Registration of Business Names Act 1963 (the “1963 Act”). Currently there are approximately 3,600 limited partnerships and over 620,000 business names registered with the Registrar of Companies (the “Registrar”), however, many of these are believed to be inactive but cannot be removed due to the Registrar’s insufficient powers under both the 1907 Act and 1963 Act. One of the main proposals contained in the General Scheme is the requirement for both Limited Partnerships and business names to be re-registered every 5 years.
