Limited Liability Partnership

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) offers the perfect blend of flexibility and legal protection—making it an ideal business structure for startups, consultants, service providers, and professionals. It combines the operational ease of a traditional partnership with the benefits of limited liability like a private limited company.

At Legit Filings, we make it easy and affordable to register your LLP online in India. Whether you’re a freelancer teaming up with a partner or a business looking for a scalable structure, our team of experts will guide you through the entire process—from documentation to approvals—with speed and accuracy.

What is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)?

An LLP is a modern business format introduced in India in 2008 under the Limited Liability Partnership Act. It gives your business the flexibility of a partnership with the added advantage of limited liability—meaning the personal assets of partners are protected in case of business debts or legal issues.

An LLP is also a separate legal entity, which means it can own property, enter contracts, sue or be sued—just like a company.

It’s become a popular choice for professionals and entrepreneurs who want to collaborate without the burden of personal risk and with fewer compliance requirements compared to private limited companies.

Basic Requirements for LLP Registration

To start an LLP in India, you’ll need to meet a few basic conditions:

Minimum of 2 partners (no upper limit).
At least 2 designated partners, one of whom must be a resident of India.
If a corporate entity is a partner, it must nominate a natural person to act on its behalf.
Partners must agree to contribute capital, though there’s no minimum capital requirement.
There is no minimum capital requirement to form a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in India. You can register an LLP with any amount of capital, even the minimum possible.
You must have a registered office address for the LLP.

Once these are in place, you’re ready to move forward with your LLP registration online.
