Converting an existing business into an LLP.
Partnership Firm → LLP
Your existing partnership deed, PAN and assets carry over under Section 55 of the LLP Act. We file Form 17 alongside the incorporation documents so the conversion and registration happen together.
- Form 17 conversion filing
- Creditor NOC handling
- Assets carry over
Proprietorship → LLP
A sole proprietor brings in a second partner and forms a fresh LLP, then transfers business assets and contracts across — the cleanest route when there is no existing partnership deed to convert.
- Fresh LLP incorporation
- Asset & contract transfer
- New PAN, GST & bank account
LLP vs Private Limited vs OPC, at a glance.
Quick answer: an LLP suits founders who don't plan to raise equity funding and want the lowest ongoing compliance cost. A Private Limited Company suits founders raising investment or issuing ESOPs. An OPC suits a single founder who wants limited liability without bringing in a second person, but converts to a private company once turnover crosses ₹2 crore.

|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum members | 2 designated partners | 2 shareholders, 2 directors | 1 shareholder + 1 nominee |

| Statutory audit | Above ₹40L turnover | Mandatory every year | Mandatory every year |

LLP Company Registration ↗Frequently asked questions
A proprietorship cannot be converted under the LLP Act the way a partnership can — instead, a new LLP is registered and the business's assets and contracts are transferred into it.
Yes. An LLP is a separate legal entity and is issued its own new PAN, GST registration and bank account after incorporation.
For most small, founder-operated businesses that don't plan to raise equity funding, an LLP's lower compliance cost usually makes it the more practical choice.
An LLP wins on cost and simplicity — lower registration and annual compliance, no board meetings, no audit until turnover crosses ₹40 lakh. A private limited company wins when you plan to raise equity funding, issue ESOPs, or want the structure investors and banks recognise most readily. Fundraising plans are usually the deciding factor.
An LLP cannot issue equity shares or ESOPs, so venture and angel funding is effectively closed to it. It pays a flat 30% income tax with no concessional rate, must file Form 8 and Form 11 every year even when dormant, and is less familiar to some investors and lenders than a private limited company.
No. An LLP has no share capital, so it cannot bring in equity investors, issue ESOPs, or take priced angel or VC rounds. Funding is limited to partner capital, partner loans and debt. Startups expecting to raise institutional money should register as a private limited company.
Not as a legal role. "CEO" and "managing director" are Companies Act designations. An LLP can call a partner "CEO" or "Managing Partner" in its LLP Agreement and externally, but the only roles the LLP Act recognises are partner and designated partner.
Yes, under Section 366 of the Companies Act, 2013. The LLP needs at least two partners, a newspaper advertisement in Form URC-2, a no-objection from the Registrar, and fresh incorporation documents. It is a multi-week process, so many founders who expect funding start as a company instead.
Usually 15–25 working days once the firm is registered under the Partnership Act and all partners have DSCs. The steps are name reservation, Form 17 with partner consents and a professional's certificate, the FiLLiP filing, then Form 3 for the LLP Agreement within 30 days and Form 14 to the Registrar of Firms within 15 days.
