Introduced in India under the Limited Liability Partnership Act of 2008, LLPs offer a significant advantage: one partner is not held accountable for the misconduct or negligence of another. LLPs are particularly popular among professionals, micro, and small businesses, especially those that are family-owned or closely held.

A Limited Liability Partnership combines the benefit of limited liability for its owners with minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike personal liability, the creditors or banks can only claim the company’s assets in the event of default, ensuring the directors' personal assets remain protected.

LLPs provide their owners with protection from the partnership’s debts, ensuring limited liability for each individual. This structure offers a level of liability protection similar to that enjoyed by shareholders of private limited companies, safeguarding each partner’s personal interests.
