How to Setup LLC
A limited liability partnership (LLP) is an agreement in which some or all partners have limited liability on the running and affairs of a company. In other words, one partner can not be held responsible for another ones negligence or misconduct. This is a major difference from that of a limited partnership.
Recently a law permitting (LLP) has been enacted by the Parliament of India. It provides the advantages of limited liability of a company but at the same time enables members have the reach to organize their internal administration with the help of an agreement.
The bill proposes that (LLP) would serve as a legal entity and corporate separate from its partners. It will have perpetual succession and will be liable wholly over its assets. However the liability of the partners would be restricted to their agreed contribution in the agreement.
Other Salient features of the LLP Act of 2008/2009/2010
- The benefit of LLP is in no way restricted to certain types of professionals.Any enterprise which meets the requirements of the Act can avail it.
- No partner should be held responsible for the wrongdoing of another partner’s faulty decisions or misconduct.
- LLP will have perpetual succession. Indian Partnership Act, 1932 shall not be applicable to LLP’s. Unlike an ordinary partnership firm, there would be no upper limit on number of partners in an LLP.
- An LLP needs to maintain annual accounts. The accounts must reflect true and unbiased view of its affairs. Like all other entities in India, taxation of LLP’s should be addressed in the Income Tax Act, 1961.
- The bill provides provisions for corporate actions like amalgamations, mergers etc.
- Provisions are there for stopping of operations and dissolutions of LLPs.

Hi,
Me and a few of my partners are planning to start an internet business. All of us are currently doing full time jobs. Can that be a problem? I mean can you run a company when you are already employed by another company?
Our company will be involved in international money transfers (ecommerce, payments for services etc). Do you think an LLP will be the best option for such a company? I read about the different company types that are allowed in India and an LLP seemed to be the best option. Is there a minimum capital requirement for an LLP?
Thanks and Regards,
Souvik
Mr. Suovik,
If you are going to carryout your business on a small base then it would be better if you continue with the partner ship format. If you want to expand, the limited liability company would be better option.
That also depends upon your level of investment. I have seen many partner ship firms operating big investments. So if it is extremely needed, then only establish the company.
Thank you.
