About Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) registration
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) registration is a legal process of forming a business entity where the partners have limited liability. This means that the personal assets of the partners are not at risk in case the LLP runs into financial difficulties or incurs any liabilities. In an LLP, partners have the flexibility to manage their business as per their mutual agreement, and they are not liable for the actions of other partners. LLP registration involves filing the necessary documents and forms with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) and obtaining a certificate of incorporation. Once registered, the LLP becomes a separate legal entity that can carry on its activities and enter into contracts on its own behalf.
There are two types of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) registration:
Regular LLP Registration: This is the standard type of LLP registration, where the LLP is formed with the primary objective of doing business. The partners are responsible for the management of the business, and the LLP is taxed as per the Income Tax Act.
Conversion LLP Registration: An existing partnership firm can convert into an LLP by following the process of Conversion LLP Registration. In this type of registration, the partners of the partnership firm become the designated partners of the LLP, and the assets and liabilities of the partnership firm are transferred to the LLP. The conversion of a partnership firm to an LLP has several advantages, such as limited liability for the partners, separate legal entity status for the LLP, and tax benefits.
