In an LLP, each partner’s liability is limited to the amount of their investment in the business.

Overview of Convert Partnership to LLP

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) can prove to be a much better business vehicle than a regular partnership. Partnership firms are relatively easy to start and are prevalent among little and medium-sized businesses in the unorganized sector. However, for a larger business, it has lost its relevance with the introduction of Limited Liability Partnership due to the added advantages offered by LLP as it provides the benefit limited liability, separate legal entity & ease of ownership transfer, etc. This is the reason that the Partnership Firms are converting into Limited Liability Partnership.

  1. Therefore the Partnership Firm which wants to convert itself to LLP must be registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932.
  2. Unregistered Partnership Firm can’t be converted to LLP. LLP incorporated by the conversion of Partnership Firm to LLP must have the same partners as they were in the Partnership Firm.
  3. Therefore it is suggested that the Partnership Firm should retire all the Partners who do not wish to be a part of LLP and if new partners are to be added, they should be added after the incorporation of LLP.
  4. Legal Suvidha Providers will help you convert Partnership firm to LLP easily. Following are some pre-requisites which should be kept in mind before converting partnership into LLP:

• ITR filing to date.
• Consideration to partners only by way of allotment of shares.
• Unsecured creditor’s consent regarding conversion.
• Minimum 2 partners.
• At least 1 designated partner shall be Indian Resident.
• DPIN & DSC of all partners.
• Contribution from each partner.

I have recently registered a Private Limited firm and was looking for a CA to take care of the filings, Startup India Certificate, and other formalities. I have received emails from legal Suvidha and a few others. I tried talking to them all. But, Mr. Mayank from Legal Suvidha was very impressive and was patient enough, prompt to answer all the queries. He has a very professional team and after the initial formalities, I started interacting with the team. It's not even 2 weeks but I really feel overwhelmed by their service and professionalism. I received my startup India certificate yesterday and my filings have been done promptly. The team at legal suvidha Ms. Nidhi, Ms. Priyanka, Ms. Koshika, and Ms. Saloni all show the same professionalism and are readily available to take care of the official filings and stuff. Overall a great experience till now and looking forward to a great journey!
