What is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)?
A Limited Liability Partnership is a modern business structure combining the flexibility of a traditional partnership with the limited liability of a private limited company. It is governed by the LLP Act, 2008 and suitable for foreign investors, consulting businesses, tech and back-office operations, and even investment vehicles.
