overview

What is Limited Liability Patnership?

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is the perfect hybrid — it combines the flexibility and simplicity of a partnership with the legal protection of a company. Partners are not personally liable for business debts, and the LLP has its own legal identity separate from its partners.

LLPs are particularly popular among professionals (lawyers, architects, consultants), co-founders launching together, and small businesses that want fewer compliance requirements than a Private Limited Company. Laams registers your LLP completely online with zero hassle.
