Limited Liability Partnership Registration Process

What we will do

What Is Limited Liability Partnership?

LLP is a popular type of partnership where limited liability Partners enjoy protection of personal assets from debts, liabilities & damages. An LLP is a corporate body and legal entity separate from its partners. It has perpetual succession in every state and is registered under the LLP Act, 2008

An LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) is a corporate business structure that offers its members the benefit of limited liability, just like a company. It allows partners to manage internal affairs based on mutually agreed-upon terms, similar to a partnership firm. Partners have reduced liabilities for any future debts incurred in the course of running the business.

An LLP combines features of both a corporate structure and a partnership firm, making it a hybrid entity that provides the best of both worlds. Partners are required to contribute to the LLP as specified in the LLP Agreement, and their contributions can take various forms, such as tangible or intangible assets, movable or immovable property, money, and cash.

In an LLP, the Company itself is liable for any losses or debts incurred in business operations, which means individual members of the LLP are not personally responsible for such financial obligations.
