Partnership Firm

Most start-ups in recent times are evolving as partnership firms. Predominantly, the business types in India are either proprietorship firms or partnership firms. Partnership firms are the most common ones among the two. Partnership firms in India are led by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932.

In a partnership firm, the odds of having a successful business are high. The partners share their business ideas and complement each other’s weaknesses. On the other hand, as in any business, there are chances that it may not do well as intended. Or even worse, the firm may not do well merely because of one or more partners. Under these circumstances, differences may arise and might call for legal action. It is for this reason that it is preferable to have the firm registered.

Advantages

Potential to sue the firm or sue the other partners:

Any conflict should arise between the partners or between the current and previous partners or even between one of the partners and the firm itself, and provided the conflict thus arising is out of the terms dictated in the partnership deed or the dispute is upon the rights vested on the partner by virtue of the Partnership Act, then a partner belonging to the firm in which the partnership is registered can always move to the Courts of Law.

The capacity of the firm to sue third parties:

In a registered partnership firm, one or more partners can always file a case in court when any of their contracts are not honoured. Partners of an unregistered firm are not given this lenience.

Right to use the principle of set-Off:

If the partnership firm is issued by another party to recover a sum the firm owes to this party, the firm can use the principle of set-off against this third party provided the latter also owes some amount of money to the partnership firm. The registered partnership firm can simply counterbalance the amount it owes to the third party.

Better credibility:

Despite the fact that the Partnership act renders both a registered and unregistered firm legal, it is a, sure enough, case that a registered partnership firm looks more credible in the eyes of a potential client

Ability to convert into an entity:

A registered partnership firm always has the ease of converting itself to another corporate entity like that of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) or a private company. This ease of conversion is not bestowed upon an unregistered firm.

Procedure to register a partnership firm:

Partnership deed     Stamp duty and notary    Obtaining a PAN    Opening of a bank account

Benefits of Company Registration

  1. Limited Liability: The most significant advantage of a private limited company is that the owners have limited liability. This means that the shareholders' assets are protected if the company goes into liquidation. If the company goes bankrupt, the owners are only liable for the amount they have invested in the company. Any company's money remains with the company and does not fall on the owners' shoulders
  2. Tax Efficient: Private limited companies are tax efficient as they can claim corporation tax relief on their profits. This can be a significant saving for businesses and increase profits. In addition, private limited companies can pay dividends to their shareholders, which are also taxed at a lower rate. In addition, there are several other tax advantages available to companies, such as capital allowances and R&D tax credits.
  3. Separate Legal Entity: A private limited company is a separate legal entity from its shareholders and directors. Offer liability protection to protect your company’s Assets.
  4. Easier To Raise Capital: Raising capital for a business can be challenging, and private limited companies are becoming increasingly popular as they attract investors into the business more due to their credibility. This can be done through issuing new shares, taking out loans, or issuing bonds. it is often easier to approach HNI for funding when operating under a private limited company. This is because these potential investors do not require an active role in the day-to-day management of the business, unlike shareholders in public companies.
  5. Flexible Management Structure: Private limited companies are famous for sole traders or small businesses that do not have the resources to set up a public limited company. This can be advantageous for companies who want to keep control of their operations within a small group of people. With private limited companies, the owners are given complete control over managing the business.
  6. Professional Image: A private limited company gives a professional image to businesses, which can be important when attracting new customers or investors. It also shows that the industry is established and has longevity. This is because private limited companies are more credible and established than sole traders or partnerships. In addition, private limited companies often have their website and letterhead, giving customers and suppliers a sense of trust in the business.
  7. Protection From Creditors: One of the critical benefits of a private limited company is that it offers protection from creditors. This is because the company is a separate legal entity from its shareholders and directors. If the company goes into debt or bankruptcy, creditors cannot seek direct payment from the personal assets of the business's owners. This can be essential protection for the shareholders and directors as it limits their liability. This means that if the company goes bankrupt, the owners are not personally liable for any money owed by the company. This can be a significant advantage for businesses struggling as it gives them some breathing room and time to reorganize their finances without worrying about personal repercussions.
