Conversion of Private Company to LLP
Limited liability partnership is a form of legal business entity with limited liability. It is an alternative corporate business vehicle that not only gives the benefits of limited liability at low compliance cost but also allows its partners the flexibility of organising their internal structure as a traditional partnership. The LLP is a separate legal entity and, while the LLP itself will be liable for the full extent of its assets, the liability of the partners will be limited.
An LLP is a separate legal entity that gives the benefits of limited liability of a company and the flexibility to organize the internal structure as a partnership. That’s why Many Companies and Partnership Firms want to voluntarily Convert into LLP because LLP contains elements of both ‘a corporate structure’ as well as a partnership firm structure.
