Decoding Limited Liability Partnership
The 2008 Limited Liability Partnership Act introduced LLP in India. LLPs were created to provide a simple business entity with limited liability for owners. Over 1.2 lakh Indians have registered LLPs since 2008.
LLPs are among India’s easiest to form and manage. Professionals, micro, and small family-owned or closely-held businesses prefer LLPs due to their easy incorporation and compliance requirements.
LLPs cannot issue equity shares, so businesses seeking equity funding from Angel Investors, Venture Capitalists, or Private Equity Funds should not use them.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Central Government, registers LLPs in India. The State Government controls the Registrar of Firms, which registers partnership firms.
Important Features of LLP - Know the Facts
Limited Liability Protection
LLPs are better than traditional partnerships because one partner is not liable for another's misconduct or negligence. LLP owners have limited liability for the LLP's debts. Unlike private limited company shareholders, LLP partners can directly manage the business.
Fundraising
Process requires minimum fees, as well as very little paperwork, but the process varies depending on the country, state or province of residence.
Number of Partners
LLPs and Partnership Firms need two partners to register. LLPs can have unlimited partners after incorporation. If a partnership firm loses a partner due to death, incapacitation, or resignation, it dissolves. If the number of Partners drops below 2, the sole Partner can find a new Partner without dissolving the LLP.
Non-Resident Indian (NRI) & Foreign Ownership of LLP
Post changes to FDI regulations on 10th November 2015, 100% FDI in LLP is permitted under the automatic route. Therefore, FDI in LLP is now permitted, and NRIs or Foreign Nationals can start or invest in an LLP.
Benefits of LLP
Seperate Legal Entity
LLP is a separate legal entity from partners. Each partner can sue the other in case a situation arises.
Continuity
It has an uninterrupted existence that follows perpetual succession, i.e., the partners might leave, but the business remains. A term of dissolution has to be mutually agreed on for the firm to dissolve.
Flexible Agreement
Transferring ownership of LLP is also simple. A person can quickly be inducted in as a designated partner and ownership switches to them.
Suitable For Small Business
LLPs having capital less than 25 lakhs and turnover below 40 lakhs per year do not require any audits. It makes registering as LLP beneficial for small businesses and startups.
Acquire Property
An LLP can own or acquire property because it is recognised as a juristic person. Partners of LLP cannot claim the property as theirs.
No Owner / Manager Distinction
Partners own and run LLPs. Partners and LLP are separate legal entities. If necessary, each partner can sue.
