Overview
What is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)?
An LLP is a form of partnership with limited liability. It has features of both a partnership firm and a company. LLPs are governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, and are registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
An LLP is a separate legal entity. It can hold property and sign contracts in its own name, and it continues when partners change. Each partner's liability is limited to their agreed contribution.
An LLP is run under a written LLP Agreement. It sets out the rights and duties of the partners.

Lighter compliance
The main yearly filings are the annual return and the statement of account and solvency.
Credibility
Being registered with MCA gives clients, banks and vendors more transparency than an unregistered firm.
