It is a combination of a corporation and a partnership, so it has the characteristics of both. What are the steps involved in changing an LLP agreement? Partners have limited liability in the firm, which means their personal assets are not used to repay company debts, as the name implies. In recent years, it has become a very popular form of business, with many entrepreneurs opting to incorporate it. There are several partners in the company, so they are not liable for the actions of others. Limited liability companies are governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act of 2008. In April 2009, the first limited liability partnership was introduced in India. Each individual is responsible for his or her actions.
The limited liability partnership (LLP) structure is not just popular in India. It is also prominent in other countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia since it is a legal entity that exists independently of its owners. It is capable of entering into contracts and purchasing property on its own behalf.
