LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP

STARTING & REGISTERING IS BUSINESS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN AN ENTREPRENEURS JOURNEY. CHOOSING THE RIGHT FORM OF BUSINESS IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT. HERE, WE’LL GUIDE YOU ON LLP REGISTRATION - WHAT IS AN LLP, WHY SHOULD YOU GO FOR AN LLP, THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, DOCUMENTATION AND REQUIREMENTS.

WHAT IS LLP?

A limited liability partnership or LLP is a form of partnership in which the partners have limited liability. In simpler terms, this means that you can have 2 or more than 2 partners in an LLP. Also, the partners are not liable to pay for the firms debts or creditors from their personal assets. This is a big advantage over normal partnership firm where partners’ personal assets like home & car can sold to repay firm debts.

LLP gives the double benefits of both a Company and a Partnership in a single form of organization where any one partner is not responsible for another partner’s misconduct or negligence.

WHY SHOULD YOU GO FOR AN LLP ?

There is no maximum

limit for the no. of

partners in LLP.

can start your business with as low as Rs. 5,000

LLP limits your liability.
