What is LLP
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a modern form of business structure that blends the benefits of a traditional partnership and a company. It allows two or more partners to run a business with flexibility in management while protecting their personal assets from business liabilities. An LLP is recognized as a separate legal entity under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, meaning it can own property, enter into contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name. It requires minimal compliance compared to companies, has no minimum capital requirement, and offers perpetual succession, making it a preferred choice for startups, professionals, and small businesses.
