LLP stands for Limited Liability Partnership. A LLP(limited liability partnership) is a partnership in which some or all partners have limited personal liability for debts or claims of the partnership. Since LLP is a separate legal entity so it provides its owners the benefit of “Limited liability” at minimal maintenance and costs, the incorporation costs and compliances of a LLP are way less than that of a company.
It is a preferred form of organisation among small and medium businesses as well as working professionals because it incorporates the benefits of both a partnership firm and company into a single form of organisation. In India, LLPs are controlled and regulated by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.
