LIMITED LIABILITY PATNERSHIP
LLP Registration is a new type of business that combines the benefits of a corporation and the flexibility of a partnership firm into a single entity. The Limited Liability Partnership Act of 2008, which established the concept of LLP in India, was passed in 2008. This one-of-a-kind hybrid is ideal for small and medium-sized organisations.
In India, managing and forming a Limited Liability Partnership is quite simple. A minimum of two partners is necessary to form an LLP, but there is no upper limit. The Partners’ rights and responsibilities are outlined in the LLP agreement. In an LLP, one partner is not liable for the wrongdoings or negligence of the other.
