Overview of Conversion of LLP to Private Company
There are businesses in India that begin their journey as a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) but now are keen on converting into a private limited company for more growth and prosperity in business.
The Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 has no provision related to the conversion of an LLP into a Private Limited Company, but Section 366 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Company (Authorised to Register) Rules, 2014 states that an LLP can be converted into a Private Limited Company.
LLP is good for small businesses with an annual sales turnover of fewer than Rs 40 lakhs and a capital contribution of fewer than Rs 25 lakhs. LLPs that satisfy these conditions do not have to go through an audit every year; on the other hand, a private limited company must conduct an audit of its financial statement each year. Though in case LLP has an annual turnover of Rs 40 lakhs or a capital contribution of more than 25 lakhs, the need for compliance becomes almost similar for both the private limited Company and LLP, making the owners of LLP think about converting into a Private Limited Company.
