Register a Limited Liability Partnership to combine the flexibility of a partnership with the benefits of limited liability and a separate legal identity.
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a hybrid business structure introduced under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, combining the operational flexibility of a traditional partnership with the advantages of limited liability and a separate legal identity. In an LLP, partners are not personally liable for the misconduct or negligence of other partners, and their liability is limited to the extent of their agreed contribution. This structure is particularly suitable for professionals, startups, and small to medium-sized businesses seeking a simple organizational framework with reduced compliance burden compared to companies. An LLP can own property, enter into contracts, sue, and be sued in its own name, independent of its partners. To register an LLP in India, a minimum of two designated partners is required, at least one of whom must be a resident of India. The registration process involves obtaining Digital Signature Certificates (DSC), Director Identification Numbers (DIN/DPIN), reserving a unique name, drafting an LLP Agreement, and filing incorporation forms with the Registrar. LLPs enjoy benefits such as tax efficiency, operational flexibility, and lower compliance costs, making them a preferred choice for consulting firms, professional services, and growing enterprises.
