Documents Required:
Limited liability partnership (LLP) is a type of legal formed partnership company under ministry of corporate affairs.It provides limited personal liability for the debts of the partnership. Partners will not be liable for the tortious damages of other partners but potentially for the contractual debts depending on the state.
Limited Personal Liability: One of the primary benefits of an LLP is that it
provides limited liability protection to its partners. This means that the personal
assets of the partners are generally protected from the business's debts and legal
liabilities. If the LLP faces financial trouble or legal issues, the personal assets of
the partners are not typically at risk beyond their investments in the LLP.
Separate Legal Entity: An LLP is considered a separate legal entity, distinct
from its partners. It can own property, enter into contracts, and sue or be sued in its
name. This separation of legal identity is important for protecting the personal assets
of the partners.
Dissolution and Transition: LLPs can be dissolved relatively easily,
especially compared to corporations. The process of adding or removing partners is also
typically straightforward.
Professional Services: LLPs are commonly used in professional services
industries, such as law, accounting, and consultancy, where partners prefer limited
liability and pass-through taxation.
Partnership Agreement: An LLP should have a well-drafted partnership
agreement that outlines the roles, responsibilities, and profit-sharing arrangements
among the partners. This document is crucial for the smooth operation of the LLP.
