A Limited Liability Partnership is a legal entity separate from its partners and therefore, offers limited liability to its partners whereby any debts and obligations of the LLP will be borne by the assets of the LLP.
In the case of a conventional partnership, the partners are jointly and severally liable for each debt and obligation of the partnership firm
The target groups are:
- Professionals
- Small and medium sized businesses
- Venture capitals
- Joint Ventures
If the partner:
- has been found to be of unsound mind by a Court of competent jurisdiction and the finding is in force
- Is an undischarged insolvent
- Has applied to be adjudicated as an insolvent and his application is pending.

It is further clarified vide MCA General Circular No. 13/2013, dated 29th July, 2013, read with MCA General Circular No. 2/16 dated 15th January, 2016, that an HUF cannot be treated as a body corporate for the purposes of LLP Act, 2008.

- The management-ownership divide inherent in a company is not there in a limited liability partnership.
- LLP will have more flexibility as compared to a company.
- LLP will have lesser compliance requirements as compared to a company.

A designated partner of an LLP means the partner who is responsible for carrying out all acts and things that are required for the functioning of the LLP in respect of compliance of provisions, filing of documents/returns/statements under the LLP Act and things as may be specified in the LLP agreement.
An LLP should have a minimum of two designated partners who are individuals and at least one of them should be resident in India.
