Documents Required for LLP Registration in India

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a popular form of business. It has the characteristics of a company and a partnership firm. While it has benefits and characteristics of a private limited company, it can be operated flexibly just like a partnership firm. The partners of an LLP come together to operate business under a LLP agreement. Compliances are lesser in LLP compared to a company, yet the partners have limited liability since LLP acts as a legal entity separate from partners. Thus, the documents required for an LLP is also less compared to a company.
