Converting your business from partnerships into an LLP is better because your business will have limited liability for partners, perpetual existence, unlimited partners, and better access to credit and potential for growth. We help you convert partnership into LLP in 3 simple steps –
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) can prove to be a much better business vehicle than a regular partnership. Partnerships are affected by personal liabilities, and LLPs remove excessive regulations of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. Furthermore, there are tax benefits, no audit requirements below a certain capital, no cap with regard to a number of partners or capital contribution requirements.
Transferring the ownership of LLP is simple. A person can be quickly inducted in as a designated partner, and the ownership will switch to them.
An LLP has partners, who own and manage the business. This is different from a private limited company, whose directors may be different from shareholders. For this reason, venture capitalists do not invest in the LLP structure.
At Vakilsearch, we make the process of LLP registration seamless and hassle-free.
The first step is to obtain DSC of the desired partners of Limited Liability Partnership. The reason for this is that all the forms need to be submitted online and require the directors' digital signatures. The law also requires that all directors file for a DIN number. The application has to be made in Form DIR- 3.
This process involves registering the LLP. Before doing this, you would need to see if the name is already taken. You can check on the free search facility on the MCA portal. The registrar only approves LLP names that are not taken before.
The approval of the name will be made by the Registrar only if the Central Government does not deem it undesirable. The name should also not hold any resemblance to any of the existing partnership firms, LLPs, trademarks, or body corporates.
LLP agreement is very crucial in a limited liability partnership as it determines the mutual rights and duties amongst the partners, and between the LLP and the partners. The partners enter into the LLP agreement upon the LLP registration by filing form 3 online on the MCA portal. This procedure has to be done within 30 days of the date of incorporation.
Once the registrar approves your MOA and AOA, you’re steps closer to getting your LLP registered. The next step is to get the LLP Incorporation Certificate. You can do it by submitting all the documents to the registrar. The time frame is between 2- 12 days. Once you get your LLP Incorporation Certificate, you’re ready to go.
As soon as you get the incorporation certificate, you need to apply for your company PAN & TAN with the NSDL. The cost for this procedure is less than Rs.200 and it takes around three weeks to get done.
