NEED OF NEW FORM OF LLP (THE LLP ACT 2008)


Need of new form of Limited Liability Partnership

The lawmakers envisage the needs for bringing out the new legislation for creation of the Limited Liability Partnership to meet with the contemporary growth of the Indian economy. A need has been felt for a new corporate form that would provide an alternative to the traditional partnership with unlimited personal liability on the one hand and the statute-based governance structure of the limited liability company on the other hand, in order to enable professional expertise and entrepreneurial initiative to combine, organize and operate in flexible, innovative and eflcient manner.

The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is viewed as an alternative corporate business vehicle. It provides the benefits of limited liability but allows its members the flexibility of organizing their internal structure as a partnership based on a mutually arrived agreement. The LLP form enables entrepreneurs, professionals and enterprises providing services of any kind or engaged in scientific and technical disciplines, to form commercially effcient vehicles suited to their requirements. Owingto flexibility in its structure and operation, the LLP is a suitable vehicle for small enterprises and for investment by venture capital.
