WHY LLP?
Built for Professionals and Growing Teams.
A Limited Liability Partnership blends the operational flexibility of a partnership with a separate legal identity and liability protection for its partners, at a lower compliance cost than a company.
Separate Legal Identity
The LLP can own assets, enter contracts and conduct business independently of its partners.
No Minimum Capital
There is no statutory minimum capital requirement, making the structure accessible for bootstrapped teams.
Lower Compliance Cost
Ongoing filings and costs are generally simpler than those applicable to a Private Limited Company.
Perpetual Succession
The LLP's existence can continue despite changes in partners, subject to the LLP Agreement.
Flexible Management
Partners manage the business directly as per the LLP Agreement, without a separate board of directors.
OVERVIEW
What Is a Limited Liability Partnership?
A Limited Liability Partnership is a hybrid business structure incorporated under the LLP Act, 2008. It operates as a separate legal entity, distinct from its partners, with liability capped at each partner's agreed contribution.
Incorporation is handled through the MCA's integrated FiLLiP process. Depending on the application, linked registrations can include DPIN, PAN, TAN and the LLP Agreement filed in Form 3.
