What is Limited Liability Partnership Registration ?

Earlier there were only two forms of Organisation:

  1. Limited Liability Entities (Partnership/Proprietorship)
  2. Unlimited Liability Entities(Company)

LLP registration is easier with post registration compliances less in comparison to a body corporate and unlike partnership where liability is unlimited LLPs limit the liability of partners to the extent of their capital contribution.
