LLP Registration in India: Benefits
LLPs are similar to corporations in that they exist independently from their partners. To form a limited liability partnership (LLP), any amount of minimum capital can be used. LLP partners are liable for only the amount they contributed to the LLP.
The primary advantage of establishing an LLP is that it is easier to set up and administer, with fewer procedures involved in incorporating. LLPs also charge lower registration fees than corporations, and audits are not mandated. A private limited company’s annual ROC compliance is lower.
