Company into Limited Liability Partnership

A Company may convert itself into Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) as it provides features of both a company and partnership, thereby providing more flexibility for business operations. It provides benefits such as no compulsion of audit for below turnover of 40 lakhs, no limit on capping of borrowings and advancement of loans, no restriction on related party transactions, no requirement to maintain statutory registers, no compulsion on holding board meetings/general meetings, less compliance costs etc.

It is generally favourable for small and medium-sized enterprises, organizations in the service sector, and professional firms. Any existing Private Limited Company or Unlisted Public Company can be converted into LLP by complying with the legal requirements under LLP Act 2008.

• On conversion, all the existing liabilities, obligations, agreements, contracts and appointments of company shall continue in the name of LLP
• Any conviction, ruling, order or judgment of any Court, Tribunal or other authority in favour of or against the company may be enforced by or against the LLP.
• Permits or licenses issued under any written law to the Private Limited Company, and which are active before the date of conversion will not be transferred automatically to the Limited Liability Partnership.
