What Is Partnership Firm to LLP Conversion?

A registered partnership firm may, subject to the applicable provisions and eligibility conditions, be converted into an LLP.

A Limited Liability Partnership combines elements of partnership-based management with a separate legal entity structure and limited liability framework.

Conversion is more than simply changing the business name. The proposed LLP must satisfy the applicable requirements, the prescribed MCA filing must be completed and the required information regarding partners, contribution, business and existing partnership must be provided.

For conversion of a firm into LLP, the applicable MCA process involves Form 17 linked with the prescribed LLP incorporation filing through FiLLiP.
