LLP into Private Limited

Whether you want to start as an LLP or private limited company depends upon the objective, scope and capital and sale of the business entity. LLP is recommended when the capital amount is less than 25 lacs and sales turnover is more than 40 lacs. In such cases, LLP is not required to audit their statements and other compliance obligation and thus reduce cost. If LLP crosses the sales turnover of Rs.40 lakhs or capital contribution of Rs. 25 lacs, then it is advisable to opt for Private Limited Company as the compliance requirement of LLP will be same as that of a company. In addition, LLP won’t be able to raise equity capital as currently there is no procedure for LLP conversion into Private Company. Hence, if the entrepreneur wants to expand business and infuse equity capital from private equity investors, venture capitalist or angel investors than a Pvt limited company is the best choice.
