What is LLP Registration?
LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) registration is the process of legally establishing an LLP business structure in India under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. An LLP combines the benefits of a partnership firm with limited liability protection of a company.
When you register an LLP, you receive a unique LLP Identification Number (LLPIN) that serves as your business's legal identity. This registration enables you to:
- Operate with limited liability protection for partners
- Enjoy flexibility of a partnership structure
- Separate personal assets from business liabilities
- Gain credibility with clients and vendors
