imited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a partnership in which some or all partners (depending on the jurisdiction) have limited liabilities. It is well defined as a structure which is easy to incorporate with minimal compliance formalities. If you are a micro or small business owner which is family owned or held closely and/or a business professional, this form of business is designed for you. It is one of the easiest form of businesses to incorporate and manage in India. The main advantage of a Limited Liability Partnership over a traditional partnership firm is that in a LLP, one partner is not responsible or liable for another partner’s misconduct or negligence. A LLP also provides limited liability protection for the owners from the debts of the LLP.
It is a separate legal entity governed by the LLP Act of 2008 which allows you to enter into contract with other entities, sue or be sued, own assets and borrow funds in the name of LLP firm. This distinguishes it from a regular partnership firm.
LLP agreement would define the operating structure which includes roles and responsibilities of partners. Usually, LLPs select a ‘Designated Partner’ who controls the day-to-day affairs of the firm. It also helps in protecting partner’s interest in case of loss due to unlawful act of any other partner
If you want to safeguard your personal assets in case of loss or insolvency, this is your cup of tea. One partner is not held responsible for the actions of negligence or misconduct of any other partner. Liability of financial contribution of any partner is restricted to the capital contribution as per the LLP agreement.
LLP requires lesser compliances over a Private Limited Company. There are many compliances that do not apply to this structure such as board meetings, audit requirements, statutory meetings, etc. In addition, the services offered by professionals are economical for LLPs as compared to a private company. This may be ideal for start-ups who do not have any equity funding requirements.
Since LLP is a separate legal entity separate from its Managing Partners, the ownership of the LLP can be changed by changing the Managing Partners, the ownership of the LLP can be changed.
There are multiple tax advantages to LLP:
- Partners can give a loan to LLP and vice-versa. There is no restriction in receiving or providing loans.
- There is no dividend tax in case of LLP but in the private limited company, if you want to pull your profit from business it is taxable.
