A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a distinctive business structure that combines the advantages of a partnership and a company. In an LLP, partners benefit from limited liability, akin to shareholders in a company, while retaining the operational flexibility and simplicity of a partnership. This structure provides the LLP with its own legal identity, enabling it to initiate or face legal actions independently of its partners.
Introduced in India in 2008, LLP is governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act to provide a reliable and flexible business structure suitable for organizations of all sizes.
