What is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)?
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) blends the flexibility of a partnership with the limited-liability protection of a company. It is registered with the MCA under the LLP Act, 2008, and is a separate legal entity.
An LLP needs at least 2 designated partners (no upper limit). Partners are not personally liable for the LLP’s debts or for another partner’s actions — making it a favourite of professional services firms, agencies and SMEs that want protection without heavy company compliance.
Benefits of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
Limited liability for partners
Each partner’s liability is limited to their agreed contribution. One partner is not liable for another partner’s wrongdoing.
Lighter compliance
No mandatory audit until turnover/contribution limits are crossed, and fewer annual filings than a private limited company.
Separate legal entity
The LLP can own property, open accounts and enter contracts in its own name, with perpetual succession.
Flexible & tax-efficient
Profit-sharing and management are governed by your LLP agreement, and there’s no dividend distribution tax.
