Conversion of LLP into Private Limited Company

An LLP is the simplest form of Incorporated Business in India that is easy to start and lighter on the compliance aspect compared to the company form of organization. There is no hard and fast rule whether a business should begin as LLP or a Private Limited Company. As per the Law, there is no restriction on the kind of business you may do in the LLP form of business. However, it is presumed that the LLP form of business is very well suited for professionals such as Architects, Doctors, Engineers, CA, CS and Lawyers.

Due to fewer compliance requirements, small businesses and startups prefer a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) over a Private Limited. In the case of LLP, the statutory audit by CA is required only when the turnover of the LLP is more than 40 Lakhs or where the capital is over Rs. 25 Lakhs. In other words, when the LLP grows, the compliance requirement is similar to that of a Private Limited Company. Further, the LLP is investor-friendly, and for every small change in the ownership, the LLP agreement has to be changed. In contrast, the shareholding changes can be done easily in a Private Limited Company. For these reasons, many LLP converts as Private Limited Company; Setindiabiz Provides end to end service about the conversion of the LLP into a Pvt Ltd Company.
