5. Facts Analysis
LLP is a new corporate structure that combines the flexibility of a partnership
and the advantages of limited liability of a company at a low compliance cost
LLP Provides the benefits of Limited Liability of a Company but allows it’s
member the flexibility of organizing internal management on the basis of
mutually arrived agreement , as in the case of partnership firm.
Owing to flexibility in LLP’s structure and operation, it would be useful for small
and medium enterprises and for the enterprises in services sector.
the SME sector largely works through the regular partnership or proprietorship
structures, wherein the partners and sole proprietor, as the case may be, are
personally liable for all liabilities of the business vehicle whereas in LLP the
liability will not arise personally.
LLP is a business vehicle which would offer simple and flexible procedures in
terms of its formation, maintenance and termination while simultaneously has
the necessary dynamics and appeal to be able to compete domestically and
internationally.

9. Opinion
After Analyzing above few points it can be said that LLP is better option to
opt rather than pvt ltd company. As LLP contains two salient feature i.e
the feature of Private Limited Co as well as partnership.
It enables the SME basically individuals and the professionals to run the
business as per their own internal rules and regulation (as per LLP
agreement) by putting together the scope of partnership and Private
limited company.
For small and medium size entrepreneur funding is more painful to startup
the business, But by incorporation of LLP it can be done through Financial
institution or other interested investors as it contains the feature of
corporate. Also Funding is described in LLP Act as “Contribution” which
can be either tangible or intangible , movable or immovable property by
partner and hence the funding can be in cash or in-kind. In case of Pvt.
Ltd Company initially funding should be by issue of share in cash.
10. Continued….
E-Commerce business can be done by establishing LLP which enables the
members to become the part of the business by contributing their shares either
in cash or in kind. Modern Electronic commerce typically use the world wide
web. LLP provides the facility to hold members universally which will help the
business to grow world wide. As LLP provides the partner libel separately and
hence the chances of fraud within the LLP is very less.
So LLP has multiple feature with low rate of risk and hence incorporating LLP is
better than Private Limited Company for the present scenario.
