LWPartnerships and floating charges.

ECEoin Connolly5y ago
Why are ordinary partnerships unable to issue floating charges? I have an idea why, I know LLP’s can, I just don’t know exactly why. Please help, thanks. Eoin.

I think this has to do with the issue of lack of separate legal personality of ordinary partnerships. In effect the holder of floating charge would be in a preferential position over other unsecured creditors and this could lead to abuse or unfairness to other creditors. Hope this helps.

Yep, this is what I thought it was something like that alright. Thanks mrjonbain.
