Overview

When it comes to business, India offers you diverse options. There are many forms of business that you can find, like partnerships, LLPs, private limited, public limited, and many more. As an entrepreneur, you have all the right to choose between these forms. But many businesses in India are initially small. Sometimes businesses also start in partnerships.

While talking about the partnership, there are many disadvantages to a partnership business. One of the biggest disadvantages is the unlimited liabilities provided to the partner. It puts your personal assets at higher risk. To eliminate all these risks, you may convert your company to limited liability partnerships. Converting to LLPs takes all the risks away from the partnership business.

Partnership vs. LLP:

In the partnership firms, the firms don't have any separate identity from their partner. The partnership firms cannot hold any assets on their name. The Liability of a partner in a partnership firm is also not limited. It can also extend to the personal assets of the opposite partner. As a result, the action of an active partner can hold another partner liable.

In partnerships firm, the highest limits of partners that can be added are fifty. If any firm has more than 50 partners, it becomes illegal. But in the case of LLPs, there is no ceiling limit.

Another worst thing in a partnership business is; death or removal of any partner in a partnership dissolves the firm. But LLPs don't get affected by any changes in partnership.

The partnership firms are similar to any unregistered firm. A local registrar does the registration, and no online portal is available. LLP offers registration in the online portal of MCA. It is a centralized registration. In the partnership firms, there are no additional compliances except the income tax Act. The credibility is also low as compared to body corporates. However, LLPs offer you many benefits. It increases your creditworthiness and makes you a centralized organization.

Filing LLP Form 17- The form to convert from a partnership to LLP:

To covert a partnership firm to LLP, an individual must file the LLP Form-17. It is the application and statement form that is essential for conversion of partnerships to LLP. There are various documents you need to attach, as well. These documents include:

1) Statement of the consents of partners of the partnership company

2) You should attach the Statements that state the assets and liabilities of the firm. The chartered accountant in practice should certify it.

3) You have to attach a copy of acknowledgment of the latest IT return. It is mandatory for anyone applying for conversions.

4) Approval from any regulatory body or authority

5) You need to attach the list of all secured creditors along with their approval for conversion

6) NOC from the tax authorities

A successful conversion from partnership to LLP:

On the successful incorporation of all the processes, your partnership will convert to LLP. After the conversion, the registrar will issue a certificate of incorporation to your company. Once your partnership firm converts to LLP, the partnership firm would deem to be dissolved. Furthermore, the conversion of LLP will also convert all the assets, properties, rights, privileges, liabilities, and obligations to the LLP. In other words, the whole firm will now operate as LLP.

However, any approvals, permits, or licenses issued in writing shall not convert. So, you have to apply for new licenses or registration.
