One of the first big decisions any founder makes is the legal structure of the business. The two most popular options in India are the Private Limited Company and the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).
Private Limited Company
Best if you plan to raise external funding or issue shares to investors. It offers strong credibility but comes with higher compliance.
LLP
Best for professional services and small partnerships that want limited liability with lighter compliance and no dividend distribution tax.
Our recommendation
If you intend to raise venture capital, go Private Limited. If you want a simple, low-compliance structure for a services business, an LLP is often ideal. We help you weigh the trade-offs and handle the full registration either way.
