A common question
Private limited company or LLP?
A private limited company suits businesses that plan to raise equity, issue ESOPs or bring in investors; it has more compliance and a statutory audit every year. An LLP has lighter compliance and suits professional firms and businesses owned by a few partners who do not plan to raise equity.
We compare both on your plans, your tax position and the compliance you are willing to run, before anything is filed.
