Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Registration in India – Fees and Documents Required
By GSTBUY.COM
What is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)?
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a business structure that combines the flexibility of a traditional partnership with the benefits of limited liability like a company. In an LLP, partners are not personally liable for the debts of the business beyond their agreed contribution. It is governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 in India.
LLP is commonly preferred by professionals, startups, consultants, small businesses, and service-based companies because it offers operational flexibility with fewer compliance requirements compared to private limited companies.
Key Features of LLP
Separate Legal Entity: LLP is legally separate from its partners.
Limited Liability: Partners are liable only up to their investment.
No Minimum Capital Requirement: You can start an LLP with any amount of capital.
Flexible Management: Partners can manage the business directly.
Lower Compliance: Compared to Private Limited Company.
Perpetual Succession: LLP continues even if partners change.
