Separate Legal Entity

An LLP is a legal entity and a juristic person established under the Act.  To form an LLP Company minimum 2 Entrepreneurs are required. These 2 persons or partners are distinct from the entity and both can sue each other and get sued in the process.

Limited Liability

The main feature of LLP is its Limited Liability, which means it is legally responsible only for a limited amount of debts of an LLP. The personal assets of the directors are safe if anything goes wrong with a company or the company goes bankrupt. Unlike proprietorships and partnerships, in an LLP the liability of the members in respect of the LLP’s debts is limited.

Only the amount invested in starting the business would be lost and all personal property would be safe that's the actual Limited Liability.
