A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a new form of legal entity that is a hybrid between a corporation and a partnership. It has the strengths and characteristics of the company but can be operated flexibly like a normal partnership. LLPs are less compliant than corporations, but partners have limited liability because LLPs operate as separate legal entities from their partners. Learn more to register a llp company in India.
