🛡𝐋𝐢𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: As the name suggests, LLP offers limited liability protection to its partners, which means that the personal assets of partners are protected from the debts and liabilities of the business. In a partnership, the personal assets of partners are at risk in case of business debts and liabilities. So, if partners want to safeguard their personal assets, choosing an LLP would be preferable.

🏛𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲: LLP is a separate legal entity distinct from its partners, whereas a partnership does not have a separate legal existence. This means that an LLP can enter into contracts, sue, or be sued in its own name, providing more credibility and flexibility in business operations.

🀝𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐭: LLPs offer flexibility in management structure. Partners have the option to manage the business directly or appoint designated partners to manage the LLP, similar to directors in a company. This allows for a more organized and streamlined management structure.

💌𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧: LLPs may be perceived as more credible and stable entities compared to traditional partnerships, especially in dealings with third parties such as banks, creditors, and suppliers.
