LLP Registration Guide: Documents Required, Benefits & Why Choose IRB
What is an LLP?
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a modern business structure that combines the flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability features of a company. It’s ideal for small and medium-sized businesses that want legal protection for their personal assets without rigid compliance requirements.
LLPs are governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 in India.
