LLP Registration

LLP Registration is the process of incorporating a Limited Liability Partnership under the LLP Act, 2008. An LLP combines the benefits of a partnership and a company — partners enjoy limited liability while retaining the flexibility of a partnership structure. The LLP is registered with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) through the MCA portal.

An LLP is a separate legal entity with perpetual succession. Unlike a traditional partnership, no partner is liable for the acts of another partner. It's the preferred structure for professional firms and startups that don't plan to raise equity funding.
