1. What is LLP (Limited liability Partnership?)

LLP is an alternative corporate business form that gives the benefits of limited liability of a company and the flexibility of a partnership. The LLP is a separate legal entity and is liable to the full extent of its assets but the liability of the partners is limited to their agreed contribution in the LLP.

The LLP formation is popular when a ‘professional partnership’ would like the benefit of protected liability. This is particularly suited to accountants, architects, consultants, surveyors, and other fields of expertise where a partnership is preferred to a limited company. Within an LLP the earnings of the members are normally seen as personal income.

2. Benefits of an LLP

• No Audit Requirement-There is no audit requirement up to a turnover of less than 40 Lakhs and a capital contribution of less than 25 Lakh.

• Minimal regulatory compliance– Regulatory compliance is very less in the case of LLP as compared to the company form of entity.

• Separate legal entity-Limited liability protects the member’s personal assets from the liabilities of the business. LLP’s are a separate legal entity to the members.

• Flexibility-The operation of the partnership and distribution of profits is determined by the LLP agreement. This may allow for greater flexibility in the management of the business.

• Legal person – The LLP is deemed to be a legal person. It can buy, rent, lease, own property, employ staff, enter into contracts, and be held accountable if necessary.

• Corporate ownership-LLP’s can appoint two companies as members of the LLP. In a Private Limited company, at least one director must be a human being.

This is not an exhaustive list but covers some of the key benefits of an LLP.
