Partnership flexibility, with limited liability.
ZegalWorks guides you through LLP incorporation, from name approval to the LLP agreement, so you register correctly the first time.
What is LLP Registration?
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a business structure registered under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. It is a separate legal entity, and each partner's liability is limited to their agreed contribution, so partners are not personally liable for the LLP's debts.
LLPs are popular with professional firms, consultants, agencies and family businesses because they combine a partnership's flexibility with lighter compliance than a company. Venture investors generally prefer a Private Limited Company, so an LLP is rarely the first choice for startups planning to raise equity funding.
Who this is for
A good fit if you
- Want limited liability for every partner
- Run a professional, consulting or service firm with two or more partners
- Prefer flexible internal rules set by an LLP agreement
- Want a formal structure with lighter compliance than a company
Something else may suit you better if
You plan to raise venture funding or issue shares and ESOPs. A Private Limited Company is usually preferred.
You are a solo founder. An OPC or proprietorship fits better, since an LLP needs two partners.
You are only testing an idea with a partner. A simple partnership firm may be enough for now.

How long it takes and what it costs
Actual timing depends on how quickly documents are ready and on the processing time of the authority involved.
Your total cost has two parts: our professional fee, and any government or statutory fees that apply. Government fees are set by the authority and vary by case, so we give you an itemised quote before you commit to anything. See our pricing page for packages.
