Icebreaker LLP’s at work

Joining a partnership:

Individual investors contribute a minimum of £200,000 capital. It is intended this will comprise a cash contribution of £40,000 and a loan of £160,000.

An investor’s cash contribution may also be financed by a loan subject to satisfying the criteria of the relevant lender.

IFAs and professional advisors with clients who could benefit from an Icebreaker investment, are invited to enquire about our competitive commissions.

Succeeding in partnership:

Icebreaker Management Services Limited administers the day to day running of the LLPs, which includes communications to members and co-ordinating voting resolutions. We also monitor the agreements made with entrepreneurs to give LLPs the best chance of profits.

During the life of an Icebreaker LLP, certain tax benefits may be available to members who are UK taxpayers. A member’s share of the LLP’s expenditure will represent approximately 97.5% of their capital contribution. Losses can be offset against an investor’s other income in the current year and the previous 3 years for income tax by relying on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For capital gains tax, losses can be used in the current year and carried back one year.

Members may vote at any time to sell the LLP's business. In the event that the LLP sells its business, members should be liable to capital gains tax on their share of the relevant amount received on such sale. Deduction should be allowed for transaction costs and the amount of such tax would be charged on the member's share of the proceeds less their capital gains tax base cost.
