Here are some of the differences between the LLC and LLP: 

  • An LLC is formed by the single or multiple owners, and an LLP is formed by multiple businesses. 
  • LLC is member or manager managed, and LLP is managed by the partners. 
  • LLCs have individuals, foreigners, and entities as owners, and LLP is owned by licensed persons. 
  • In an LLC, you can opt for pass-through taxation, which is the same as opting for a corporation, and in an LLP, you can get taxation through a pass-through entity. 
  • Under an LLC, you will get limited personal liability, and under an LLP, you will get personal liability shields from the partners.

    Advantages of an LLP:  

    • Liability protection: Not a single partner is responsible for the other partner's actions or business debts. 
    • Separate Legal entity: LLP can own the property and sign contracts under the considered law. 
    • Ownership flexibility: LLPs can be owned by companies and partners. 
    • Profit sharing: Partners decide how they will share the profits.   
    • Low Cost: LLP is expensive as compared to a corporation.

      Here are the advantages of an LLC:

      • Protection of assets: If the LLC is bankrupt or sued, then your personal assets are protected, which include your car, house, bank accounts, etc. 
      • Easy paperwork: LLC has easy and smooth paperwork. In this, you will not need an annual shareholders' meeting. 
      • Provides tax benefits: It provides you with the DTAA and helps you optimize your financial strategy. 
      • Freedom: LLC allows you to add members without recognizing citizenship, and allows you to adjust ownership percentage.

    An LLP is a Limited Liability Partnership in which the partners' liability is limited to the amount they contribute. It enjoys the same benefits as the LLC but is not allowed to own property. 

    An LLC is a private company that is owned by a group or individual. It includes all the characteristics of a company and a partnership.

      Articles of association and memorandum contain all the details of the LLC, and the limited liability partnership agreement is the document that contains all the essential information about the LLP.

      In the LLC, all the individuals are protected from personal liability against any lawsuit or debts of the business. On the other hand, LLPs are personally liable and it only applies to their own negligence, and not a single partner will be responsible for the other actions.

      The LLC owners are known by the name of members, and LLP owners are known by the name of partners.
