Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Registration in India – Everything You Need to Know

What is an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership)?

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a hybrid business structure combining the benefits of a company and a partnership. Introduced in India under the LLP Act, 2008, it provides limited liability protection to its partners while allowing them the flexibility of organizing their internal structure like a traditional partnership.

In an LLP, each partner is not personally liable for another partner’s misconduct or negligence. This makes it an ideal business model for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to scale with fewer compliance hassles.

Who Should Register an LLP?

LLP registration is ideal for:

• Professional service providers – CA firms, legal consultants, architects, etc.

• Startups and SMEs that seek scalability with minimal compliance.

• Joint ventures between Indian and foreign companies.

• Family-owned businesses looking for structure and protection.

Key Features of an LLP

• Separate Legal Entity – LLP can own assets, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its name.

• Limited Liability – Personal assets of partners are protected.

• Perpetual Succession – Continues to exist irrespective of partner changes.

• Less Compliance – Compared to Private Limited Companies.

Advantages of LLP
