Business Structures in India?

• 1. Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

• 2. Private Limited Company
• 3. One Person Company (OPC)

1. Limited Liability
Partnership (LLP)

• In the case of a Limited Liability Partnership

(LLP) firm, the business is a separate legal
entity. Still, the partners’ liabilities are also
limited to the amount that is per their
contribution.
2. Private Limited
Company
The central aspect of a Private Limited
Company (PLC) is that the business is a
separate legal entity in the eyes of the law. This
means that the company is not the same legal
entity and is different from its founders,
directors and stakeholders (in the form of
shareholders).
Every individual of the company is thereby
regarded as an employee of the company. If
your business falls under this category, you
should read the guide on how to register a
company we have highlighted in the article
below.
3. One Person
Company (OPC)

• The government introduced this in 2013

to make it easier for one individual to
start a company. If there is only one
promoter or owner in your company, the
person can carry on as the sole proprietor
and continue to work under the corporate
framework.
4. Public Limited
Company (PLC)

• A Public Limited Company (PLC) is a

business that has offered shares of the
company’s stock to the public, and the
liability of the general public is limited to
the number of shares they hold.
Therefore, in case of any business losses,
the public cannot be held responsible for
any amount that exceeds the share value.
