Introduced by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, an LLP provides its partners with limited liability protection, which means their personal assets are not at risk in case of business debts or liabilities. It is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), professional services firms, and startups due to its flexible structure and minimal compliance requirements.
