Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)


As the name suggests, a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a legal form of business entity that offers limited liability to its partners. Introduced in India by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, an LLP combines features of both a corporation and a sole proprietorship.

One of the most significant advantages of an LLP is its flexibility, often more so than a corporation. Compared to a sole proprietorship, an LLP offers greater stability and limited liability, making it one of the simplest business structures to operate in India.
