Read more to know the process, documents required, and fees of LLP registration.

What is LLP registration?

LLP is a form of partnership that is registered under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 where liabilities of all the partners are limited to the extent of contribution bought by them. It helps owners to limit their liabilities while enjoying the advantages of a limited company which is an edge over a traditional partnership firm.

No partner is liable on account of unauthorized actions of other partners, thus individual partners can safeguard them from joint liability arising from misconduct of other partners. LLP as an organization is mostly preferred by professionals, micro and small businesses.

Benefits of LLP Registration

Let’s take a look at the advantages of an LLP firm:

1. Separate Legal Entity: An LLP is a separate legal entity from its partners. It is a major advantage that is not available for normal partnerships.

2.Limited Liability: It helps in protecting the personal assets of the owners with limited liability protection.

3. Lower cost: The cost of registering an LLP is comparatively lower than a private limited as well as a public limited company.

4.No Minimum Capital required: An LLP can be formed with the least amount of capital as there is no minimum capital requirement for incorporating an LLP.

5 Minimal Compliances:

One of the key benefits of registering an LLP is lower compliance requirements. Mandatory criteria for annual compliances of an LLP are on the lower side as when turnover is less than 40 lakhs, LLP audit is optional.
