Which structure is better for your business? A quick comparison.

Ownership and liability

Both give limited liability, so your personal assets are protected. A Private Limited company is owned by shareholders and run by directors. An LLP is owned and run by partners.

Funding

If you plan to raise money from investors or issue shares, a Private Limited company is the usual choice. An LLP is simpler but does not allow equity shares.

Compliance and cost

An LLP generally has lighter compliance. A Private Limited company must hold board meetings, get its accounts audited and file annual returns with the ROC.

Which should you choose?

Choose Private Limited for startups, funding and fast growth. Choose an LLP for professional firms and small businesses that want simple compliance.
