Overview

What is a Limited Liability Partnership?

An LLP is a business structure that combines elements of a partnership with a corporate legal framework. It is a body corporate, and the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 generally does not apply to it — making it particularly useful when two or more people want to work together while maintaining a more formal structure and limited liability protection.

A body corporate, registered with MCA

Incorporation happens centrally through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, giving the LLP its own legal identity separate from its partners.

Limited-liability framework

Partners generally benefit from limited liability under the LLP Act, subject to applicable circumstances — a key difference from a traditional partnership.

Best suited for shared, formal ventures

Professional firms, consulting businesses, IT companies, agencies, startups, and family or co-founder-run businesses.

Protected, Yet FlexibleCorporate structure, partnership feel

Why Choose an LLP?

Partnership flexibility. Corporate protection.

Limited Liability

One of the major attractions of an LLP — it's a separate body corporate under the LLP Act.

Separate Legal Identity

The LLP has its own legal identity separate from its partners.

Flexible Internal Structure

Partners can establish their mutual rights and duties through the LLP Agreement.

LLP

Flexible. Protected.
Built to Scale.

No Traditional Shareholding

LLP does not operate through the same share-capital/shareholder structure as a company.

Suitable for Professional Businesses

Commonly considered by consultants, professionals, agencies and service businesses.

Scalable Structure

Additional partners can be admitted later subject to the LLP Agreement and applicable law.

Basic Eligibility

Who Can Start an LLP?

Minimum Two Partners

An LLP must have at least two partners, who can be individuals or eligible body corporates, including Indian residents or foreign participants subject to applicable requirements.

Two Designated Partners

At least two designated partners who are individuals are required, and at least one must be resident in India — meaning a stay of at least 120 days in India during the financial year.

The LLP Agreement

What Does an LLP Agreement Cover?

The LLP Agreement is one of the most important documents of the LLP — it defines how the LLP will operate and how partners will work together. Typically, it can cover:

LLP Name & Business Activity Registered Office Partner & Designated Partner Details Capital Contribution Profit-Sharing Ratio Partner Responsibilities Rights & Duties Decision-Making Partner Remuneration Drawings Admission of New Partners Retirement / Resignation Transfer of Partnership Rights Dispute Resolution Accounting Arrangements Business Continuity Dissolution / Closure Terms

After incorporation, the initial LLP Agreement is filed with MCA through Form 3, which MCA states is required within 30 days of incorporation.
