Understanding LLP Registration as a Business Structure

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a balanced structure, carrying benefits conventional partnership and still limiting personal liabilities of the partners. It is regulated as a contractual agreement between the partners under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. It has quickly become a popular choice for services and professional firms like Chartered Accountants, recruiting firms, consulting businesses, etc.

LLP as Compared to Private Limited

LLPs are similar to Private Limited Companies with respect to compliance and operational requirements. Recognized as a separate legal entity from the partners, it can contract or be involved in any legal proceedings in its own name. That enables the partners of an LLP to separate business liabilities or debts being recovered from their personal assets. Compliance requirement here is greater than regular partnership firms. However, Compared to a private limited company structure, it is easier to incorporate and maintain.

As a drawback, ownership transfer of a Limited Liability Partnership is not as easy as of a company. Neither an LLP can issue ESOP. For this reason, LLP is not the most ideal choice for startups who want to hyper-grow, seek seed investor or venture capital funding, or issue share capital to their employees.

What are the advantages of registering a business as an LLP?

Limited Liability of Partners

Because an LLP can enter into a contractual relationship in its own capacity, it offers a great advantage to the partners for limiting their personal risk. Liability of financial contribution of any partner is restricted to the capital contribution as per the LLP agreement. Many new age businesses prefer LLP registration over partnership so that their personal assets remain safe in case of loss, or even insolvency. Further, one partner is not held responsible for the actions of negligence or misconduct of any other partner.

Operational Flexibility

LLP Agreement, deed among partners of an LLP, clarifies operating structure including rights and responsibilities of the partners. Typically, LLP would select a “Designated Member” who would control day-to-day operations. It can have individuals or existing businesses as members. Further, this structure allows to clearly define roles of the partners and their respective responsibilities. It could also help in protecting partner’s interest in case of loss because of an unlawful act of any other partner.

Separate Legal Existence

Registration of LLP creates a separate legal identity than its partners. Governed by the LLP Act of 2008, it allows the business to contract with other entities, take legal action, own assets and borrow funds in the name of an LLP itself. It is a major advantage that is not available to a regular partnership firm

Lower Compliance Requirement

A key benefit of registering an LLP over a private company is lesser compliance requirement. It doesn’t have a mandatory audit requirement until a certain level of turnover or contribution. Unlike companies, compliances related to board meetings, statutory meetings, etc. do not apply to LLPs. Professional services for compliance are typically available at cheaper rates than those for companies, making it cost-effective to maintain an LLP.

No Limit on Owners of Business

 An LLP requires a minimum of 2 partners while there is no limit on the maximum number of partners. This is in contrast to a private limited company wherein there is a restriction of not having more than 200 members.

No Requirement of Compulsory Audit

All limited companies, whether private or public, irrespective of their share capital, are required to get their accounts audited. But in the case of LLP, there is no such mandatory requirement. This is perceived to be a significant compliance benefit. A limited liability partnership is required to get the audit done only in the case that:

i. The contribution of the LLP exceeds Rs. 25 lakhs, or
ii. The annual turnover of the LLP exceeds Rs. 40 lakhs.
