Limited Liability

The members of an LLP are only liable for a small amount of debt incurred by the firm. In case of bankruptcy, the personal assets of the partners will not be taken into account. On the other hand, for proprietorships and partnerships, the personal assets of directors and partners will be seized if the business goes bankrupt.

Separate Legal Entity

An LLP is a separate legal entity from the partners in it. It has an uninterrupted existence that follows perpetual succession, i.e., the partners might leave, but the business remains. The terms of dissolution have to be mutually agreed upon for the firm to dissolve.

Flexible Agreement

Transferring the ownership of an LLP is also simple. A person can easily be inducted as designated partner in LLP and the ownership is transferred to them.

Suitable For Small Business

LLPs having a capital amount less than ₹25 lakhs and turnover below ₹40 lakhs per year do not require any formal audits. This makes registering as an LLP beneficial for small businesses and startups.
