Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, is a business form that combines features of a company and a partnership. Partners have limited liability, meaning they are not personally responsible for business debts beyond their agreed contribution. It is commonly used by professionals and small businesses due to its flexibility and fewer compliance requirements.
Partnership Firm, governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, is a business where two or more people agree to share profits and responsibilities. In this structure, partners have unlimited liability, meaning their personal assets can be used to settle business debts. It is easy to start and is often chosen for small or family-run businesses, but it involves higher personal risk.
