LLP model has over the last decade proved to be a simplest way of establishing a business entity providing limited liability to its owners. LLPs are appropriate for professional services firms, such as financial advisories, ad-agencies, and others.
In an LLP model, one partner is not responsible for any neglect or wrong-doing committed by another partner. Unlike in a traditional partnership firm, the partnership collectively is liable for any debt of the LLP and not the partners in their individual capacity.
An LLP cannot issue equity shares to raise venture capital. It is, therefore, an ideal framework for enterprises that do not wish to go down that road during its lifespan, and so are relieved from excessive paperwork and compliance.
An LLP is a separate legal entity and, therefore, can own property, incur debts, can sue / be sued, and enjoys various other benefits in its legal capacity. Assets owned by an LLP are solely under its ownership, and no partner can claim those. Additionally, the partners of an LLP are not personally liable to the creditors for the debts entered into by the LLP.
Unlike a PLC, an LLP is much easier and cheaper to operate as there are less annual compliances, making it an appropriate mechanism for start-ups and small businesses that seek minimal compliance and regulatory mandates. Moreover, there is no audit required, if an LLP has less than INR 40 Lacs of turnover and a capital contribution of below INR 25 Lacs.
Until an LLP is legally dissolved, it can enjoy the privileges of an on-going business concern, irrespective of the demise or exit of any partner.
An LLP has partners as its owners and managers, unlike a PLC business model, where directors may be different from its shareholders.
The partners’ liability in an LLP is limited to the extent of their individual contribution to the business. Moreover, partners’ personal assets are protected from any liability of the LLP, unless any fraud is detected.
As compared to the PLC, an LLP is easy to set-up and simpler to wind-up. While it still takes just 2 to 3 months to complete the winding-up process, it can take over a year to shut-down an operational PLC.
Every Partner in an LLP enjoys a freedom to draft the LLP agreement (to define the roles, authorities, and responsibilities) as per their own preferences.
Since LLP holds a separate identity from that of its partners, the ownership can easily be transferred, just by introducing other partners in the LLP.
