Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is preferred by most of the entrepreneurs in India because it contains the benefit of both a partnership firm and a company. That is why it?s called a hybrid organization. In India an LLP is governed by Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.
Features of LLP

- Like a company, an LLP also has separate legal entity
- Each member has limited liability based on the contribution
- Less legal formalities
Minimum two members are needed to form an LLP but there is no upper limit for the numbers of members. At least two partners should be designated and their duties are implemented by the LLP agreement. Among the two, one must be resident of India.
