What is an LLP?

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is registered under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. In an LLP, partners have limited liability, and the LLP has a separate legal identity distinct from its partners.

This means:

  • Partners are not personally liable for business losses
  • The LLP can own property and enter contracts in its own name
  • Business continues even if partners change

Professionals (CA, CS, consultants, designers, etc.)
Small and medium businesses
