Company and LLP incorporation

Incorporating a company or LLP involves legally establishing the entity based on local regulations. For a Public Company, a minimum of 7 members is required, whereas a Private Company needs at least 2 members. A One Person Company (OPC) can be formed with just 1 member. An LLP requires a minimum of 2 partners. Each type has specific compliance and governance requirements, tailored to their operational scale and public interaction.

Conversion of LLP into Company

To convert an LLP into a company, you need to obtain partner approval, prepare and file necessary documents with the Registrar of Companies, and meet regulatory requirements. This process includes submitting an application for conversion and ensuring compliance with corporate governance standards. Once approved, a certificate of incorporation for the new company is issued, completing the conversion.

Conversion of OPC to Private Companies

To convert an One Person Company (OPC) to a Private Company, obtain approval from the sole shareholder, prepare and file the required documents with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), and ensure compliance with private company regulations. Once approved, the ROC issues a new certificate of incorporation reflecting the change.
