LLP Registration in Delhi
Planning to set up your business in Delhi?
Delhi is the capital city of India; it is not only the political hub but also a preferable choice among entrepreneurs, advocates, Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, other professionals, small shops, traders, and startups. For them, a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) has become a popular business structure. It gives the freedom to operate like a partnership, but with the security that their personal assets will be protected from debts and losses of business. An LLP registration is especially suitable in Delhi for:
- Consultants and professionals (lawyers, architects, designers, CA/CS firms) who want flexibility without the heavy compliance burden of a company.
- Trading and family businesses operating in Delhi’s busy markets, who want a formal structure without losing control over their business
- Startups and small IT firms based around Nehru Place or Gurugram that need an investor without spending much on compliance.
What is an LLP?
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a modern form of business setup that blends the features of a traditional partnership with those of a private limited company. It allows partners to run the business with flexibility, as decided in their LLP agreement.
