Why choose Openedze
What you get when our experts handle this end-to-end
Limited liability
Partners' personal assets are protected from LLP debts and lawsuits — same protection as a company.
Lower compliance cost
No mandatory audit until turnover crosses ₹40L or contribution exceeds ₹25L. Fewer board meetings and filings than a Pvt Ltd.
Flexible partner roles
LLP agreement defines profit-sharing, decision rights, and exit terms — tailored to your partnership dynamic.
Separate legal entity
LLP can own assets, sign contracts, and sue/be sued in its own name — independent of its partners.
Perpetual succession
The LLP continues to exist even if partners change, retire, or new partners join.
Tax efficiency
No dividend distribution tax. Profits taxed once at the LLP level (30% + surcharge + cess).

What an LLP gives you
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is governed by the LLP Act, 2008. It's a hybrid structure — partners get the limited liability protection of a company along with the operational flexibility of a partnership.
LLPs are particularly suited to professional services: CA firms, law firms, design studios, consultancies, agencies, architectural practices, and any partnership where the founders contribute primarily through their expertise rather than external capital.
Compared to a Pvt Ltd, LLPs have lower compliance overhead — no mandatory board meetings, less frequent ROC filings, and audit only when turnover or contribution crosses thresholds. The trade-off: LLPs cannot issue equity shares, so they're not the right structure if you plan to raise institutional capital.

Frequently asked questions
LLP vs Pvt Ltd — what's the difference?▾
LLP has lower compliance and no minimum capital, but cannot issue equity shares — making it unsuitable for raising VC/angel capital. Pvt Ltd is required for institutional fundraising and ESOPs. We help you pick on the call.
Is an audit mandatory for LLPs?▾
Audit is required only if annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakhs. Most small LLPs operate without audit in early years.
Can I convert my LLP to a Pvt Ltd later?▾
Yes — LLP-to-Pvt Ltd conversion is permitted and we handle it as a separate engagement. Useful if your funding plans change later.
How many partners are needed?▾
Minimum 2 partners (no upper limit). At least 2 must be Designated Partners and at least 1 of those must be resident in India.
What annual compliance does an LLP need?▾
Form 11 (Annual Return) and Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency) every year, plus ITR. We offer an annual compliance retainer for LLPs.
