Private Limited Company versus Partnership Firm… which one I should go for?

In my last post, I shared my experience on Incorporating a Private Limited Company in India. Here I am going to mention the difference between a private limited company and a partnership firm, their advantages and disadvantages and which one you should go for.

Here we start with the difference between the two:

employee_team

Entity:

A company has a legal entity, separate from its shareholders or also called  members. Members represent the company. Creditors and Debtors of the company are of the company alone and they can’t proceed against the members personally.

A partnership firm has no legal entity separate form the members. It dies upon the death of a partner or upon separation between them. Partners are responsible for each and every debt or credit directly.

Liability:

In a company, the shareholders have a limited liability (That’s why it is called private limited or public limited). Individually, all the share-holders have the liability to the extent of the amount of the shares held by them for which they haven’t yet paid for. So once you have paid up the price for the shares to the company, your liability is over. You are not bound to pay anything towards the debts, which the company has incurred.

In a partnership form each partner has an unlimited liability and is personally liable for all the debts of the firm.

Registration and Legal Formalities:

It takes one day to register a partnership firm. While a company registration is a 2-4 week long process. See my previous post on the process and cost of company incorporation. Company incorporation is much more expensive too.

There are many legal formalities in case of a company which are on-going too. For example, The external auditing of the accounts of a company is a legal necessity, but in case of a firm until the annual turn-over doesn’t cross 40 lacs, audit is not necessary.

Management and Control:

All the partners of a firm are entitled to take part in the management. But in case of a company the board of directors, elected by shareholders, control and manage the business.

Every shareholder doesn’t have to worry about the management of the company. Only majority voting power (>50%) is needed to control the most operations of a company (in a few very important cases >75% is required).

While in case of a firm, consent of all partners is required to carry out any important decisions  etc.

Winding up:

A partnership firm can be wound up at any time by any partner if it is at will, without any legal formalities.

Winding up a company is a long and painful legal process. Remember that a company is a legal entity. So when law gives birth to a company, only law can kill it.

———————-

So, here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating a company versus a partnership firm.

Advantages of Incorporation:

1. Separate legal entity and Limited liability, as described above.

2. Ease of operations, because not every member is required to run the company.

3. Adds credibility to your existence.

Disadvantages of Incorporation:

1. Formality and expenses, throughout its life.

2. Painful to wind-up, if required.

———————-

Overall I would say,

When you are just starting your venture, go for a partnership firm. Once you see a certain level of stability/growth and you need credibility in the market, go for a company incorporation. In B2B deals especially, I have seen the customers being worried if you are not a registered company.

Note: No VC would invest in a partnership firm (No one wants to take unlimited liability). You will anyway have to form a company before your first investment.

———————-

Namit from Lifemojo has mentioned an interesting comment in my previous post.

Namit: “I hope the Limited Liability Partnership would be a better choice for Indian Startups once the bill gets passed.”

So there is something already proposed in Indian parliament called “Limited Liability partnership”, which will have the advantages of both. Cool 🙂

  1. There are a lot of things to consider before incorporating or forming an LLC or LP. The tax and non-tax considerations can have a long lasting affect on your business, associates and family.

    There is a free 5-part email series entitled What You Must Know Before You Incorporate that is worth the read.

    All the best!

  2. Thanks Himanshu, a very good write up and most importantly very informative. I, in collaboration with 3 of my friends from College recently started a Partnership firm (named “17dnorth”- a design studio) and were given advice on the same lines that you have mentioned in your post above, to start a partnership firm. Since i am not very business oriented person, i must admit that i didn’t have (not anymore!!) much knowledge about the differences between the various types of companies and firm that one can start and type of businesses one can venture into. To clarify on the same I stumbled upon your article and i must mention that that little write up, has clarified a lot of my doubts.

  3. hi,
    we have registered a pvt. ltd. company in the month of july 2008, but due to some reason we could not start our business. What are the legal and audit formalities to be completed in this financial year.

    thanks

    Comment by netex— February 1, 2009 #

  4. @netex If you have registered the company, the formalities are to be completed at the end of the financial year, even if you haven’t done any business.

    There has to be an external audit, an income tax filing and a filing of income returns with the ROC. Please consult a CA/CS for more details.

  5. It has been comprehended very well. Thanks.

    This post is only for explaning the difference between the two, so that you can decide which one you should go for.

    To know the process for incorporating a limited liability company in India see the post:
    https://hkhurana.wordpress.com/2008/11/09/incorporating-a-private-limited-company-in-india/

    I do not know the exact process for registering a partnership firm.

    Comment by Himanshu Khurana— February 18, 2009 #

  8. I have a Partnership firm in which my wife and I are partners. I have been told by a friend that we can take salaries only as per limits prescribed by the income taw law. So, we are forced to pay in the hands of the firm. We prefer paying tax in our hands separately to enjoy the exemptions granted by the law. My friend says this is only possible if I have a private limited company. He gave the following calculation.

    Say, the firm has a profit of Rs.10 lakhs. The max permissible salary to the partners is Rs.4,52,500. The firm pays tax at 33.66% on the remaining amount. So, the tax for the firm is Rs.1,84,289. If my wife and I can use the exemption limits judiciously, we need not pay tax.

    If we have a private limited company, we can take all of Rs.10 lakhs as salary @ Rs.5 lakhs each. Then our total tax liability works out to Rs.64,000 only. Hence, we end up saving Rs.1,20,289.

    Please advise if this is right. Based on your advise, I want to convert my partnership firm to a private limited company.

    Hi Mr Krishnan,
    I didn’t know that there is such kind of restriction in a partership firm on drawing salary. You need to confirm that with a CA or CS.

    But if that is the case, then it totally makes sense for you to go for a private limited company. But there are lots of overheads of starting a company as compared to a firm. But with the kind of saving you are talking about it would be worth it.
    See this post on the process of incorporating a company:

  11. dear Mr.khurana
    i am starting a firm with a few of my friends, this post has been most helpful in clearing my head of a lot of doubts.

    being a firm can i use the ‘pvt ltd’ tag with my company’s name ? solutions pvt ltd ?

    Comment by jasche— July 15, 2009 #

  12. hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    As i mentioned in my last question that i have registered a company in July 2008, but could not start business. for the registration purpose form 1, form 18, and form 32 were submitted to ROC. After then no activity was done. So i want to close this company. But my partner who have a fifty percent share in the company, neither wants to run nor wants to close it. Simply, he wants to create some problems for me. As if company is not wind up. I have to bear expences for auditing every year, wihtout doing any work. plz suggest options before me….how can i close it or how can i resign it.

    thanks

    Comment by netex— August 1, 2009 #

  13. @Nitin
    I have mentioned the differences in my post. Still if you want to discuss it further you can give me a call. I have emailed you my number.

    Comment by Himanshu Khurana— August 1, 2009 #

  14. @netex
    Your partner is equally responsible for completing annual formalities. Please consult a CS to know what action you can take against him.

    Closing a company is more difficult than creating it. However, since you have decided to close the business, you can start the wind-up process with the help of a CS. However, your partner has to agree and he should be available for certain formalities and signatures.

  18. @L.Pandi Thanks!
    @Shameer Sure! Will do that.
    @jasche being a firm you can’t use ‘pvt ltd’ tag. It has to be a private limited company to use this tag.

  19. Hi,

    Very informative post. It has cleared some of my doubts regarding the Partnership firm.

    I am working as a freelancer to a US company and I get paid in dollars on the agreed contract between me and the US company.

    Now, my question is that I don’t have a firm or a company to raise an invoice to the US counterpart, and have asked them to directly transfer my amount to my bank account in India.

    Now, if the person transfer then what are the tax implications and how i can save the tax.

    Please advice.

    Comment by Dharamveer— November 7, 2009 #

  20. Hi Dharamveer! I am not sure the tax implications in this case. You can contact a CA to get an answer!

  21. Hi
    I have joined with 2 others and started a private company. My stake was 25%. One of them has invested in the company around 50 lacs.
    He is Managing Director and holds 50% of the share and his friend like me holds the balance 25%. Every bank transaction the signature power is jointly by MD and one of the directors. Now the company is under heavy loss. This MD is not active participant in the day to day business. We are developing a software. Now This MD is threatining me to repay 50 lacs which he claims that believing us he has invested.
    Can u tell me where i stand legally. This 50 lacs has been treated as loans from Managing Director. Am i responsible to pay back such loans.

    Comment by VIJAY SANKER— March 2, 2010 #

  22. @Vijay.
    The MD has given a loan to the company, not you. You are separate from the company. Your liability is limited to you capital investment in purchasing the 25% shares. You must have paid that money to the company initially. If you have not paid, you should pay and thats all your liability is.

    Legally you are safe.

    If the board of the company decides to repay the loan to the MD, the company’s assets should be sold to repay the loan.

    Comment by Himanshu Khurana— March 3, 2010 #

  23. Thanks Himanshu. This reply gave me a good relief. But there is only one hitch, now they are trying to press a charge on me with such comments.
    Negligence of Duty by a director which created the loss.

    Is there any such clause legally. can they use such a clause.

    Comment by VIJAY SANKER— March 4, 2010 #

  24. @Vijay

    Now this one is purely a matter of what you can prove. You will have to fight against it.

    partnership firm/private limited company

    Comment by R Maheshwari— April 25, 2010 #

  28. @ pankaj,

    You cant use the words inc./ corp as these are american terms for referring to Incorporated entities.
    For Indian entities, the words are Ltd./ Pvt. Ltd. etc. which can be used only if you form a Company.

    You cant form a Company with existing name.

    Best regards

  29. Also the liability of the shareholders becomes unlimited from limited if the number of Directors remain below the minimum limit for more than 6 months.

  34. @Pulkit

    A LLP has certain distinct tax advantages as compared to a private limited Company.Never go with a normal partnership firm.

    However, you already have a pvt. ltd company. So just changing the name and appointing the Directors and also the older Directors resigning would achieve the same.
    However you also need to look at the Memorandum of Association to see if any changes are required in the object clause. and this is more important than anything else.

    you can drop in a mail at ca.bhavesh.savla@gmail.com for a free brochure on LLP.

    2. Service tax registration

If an PVT LTD company is incorporated what will be the liabilty in the above accident case ? Will the personal property also will be liable or is it limited upto paid up capital of say Rs. 1,00,000.00. Pls clarify.

    Thanks in advance.

    It would be limited to the paid up capital from your personal side.

  41. @Manish
    Yes, a public limited company does not need to issue shares to be public. It “can” issue shares to public. Manny public companies have not gone IPO yet.

    Actually my advice is to not do any “multilevel marketing”. Whether it is Amway or herbalife or something else. Its a scam.

  44. Hi,Himanshu,

    Few questions,I am part of a partnership firm with majority stake of 35% and rest is divided as 25%,20%,20% amongst other 3.

    1. As a majority stake holder what rights do i have on the firm?
    2.Can the other come together and throw me out of the firm?
    3.Does anyone with 51% plus share become the owner of the firm or does he have any special rights?

    regards……Vijay

    Comment by Vijay L— December 22, 2010 #

  45. Hey Vijay,

    Nobody can throw you out even if you have 1% shares.

    About the special rights and all you would need to check with some CA/CS guy as I am not an expert on this.

    Comment by Himanshu Khurana— December 22, 2010 #

  46. Agree with Himanshu abt the multi-level marketing stuff.I get a lot of queries abt formation of multi-marketing companies which I have to decline. Even banks are wary of opening accounts of such Companies.

    Comment by Bhavesh— January 1, 2011 #

  47. Hi, Its very sad for that you guys are opposing multi-level marketing business. First of all you should understand that it is only a good plan to sale their products.. Fraud’s are there, but plz don’t blame all the cmpany’s.. Even some of India’s top company’s are following this stuff’s!!

    Comment by Jithu— January 28, 2011 #

  48. @Jithu
    Its my honest opinion to stay away from these kind of caopanies. I have seen so many people burning their hands in these scams of multi-level companies including Amway and Herbalife. If you do not agree it is totally up to you.

    4) What is the procedure for registering a firm?
    5) what is the exact time when tax will be applicable on us and is service tax license required in the start ?
    I’l be more than happy if the above mentioned questions be answered .

    Comment by Ali Syed— January 30, 2011 #

  50. I have a sole proprietor business which involves selling products through my website, outside India. I collect payments through my PayPal account and transfer it to my personal account in India to run my business. Now a year back I established a pvt. ltd. company to support my business and then I started transferring money to my new company current account to run my business. I wished earlier while forming the pvt. ltd. company that this would bring credibility to my business but it did not add much, as most of Internet Users see the credibility of website rather then company who is operating it. So now I find this company as a overhead as it involves annual audit, higher tax, increased financial accountancy, tds return etc. Only thing useful about this company is that it had contract with a courier company where courier company provides a good discount to companies doing good business.

    So what I plan is that I should run my business as a sole proprietor
    as it used to be BUT only use the pvt. ltd. company I formed to support the shipping operations as it earns discount from the courier company. So the company would act as a service provider to my sole proprietary business, the advantage I get is their would be less accountancy as courier company raise the consolidated bill monthly so it means only 12 transactions a year, and I would only transfer the sum of money to companies account which is required to pay the shipping company bill and rest I would manage from my personal sole proprietor business account.

    Do you think it will be alright and there is not any legal issue in above? where I am a sole proprietor of one business but also director in another company which provides services to my sole proprietor business.

    Comment by pankaj kumar— May 2, 2011 #

  56. @Vidur

    Rather than going for a pvt ltd company or partnership, go in for a Limited Liability Partnership, which offer the advantages of both and tries to reduce their disadvantages.
    For a start-up, a LLP is the best corporate form.

    Comment by jugal patadia— May 9, 2011 #

  58. Hi Himanshu,
    My fried and i started a firm in logistics, few years ago. In order to increase our biz, we roped in a sales person on a commission basis. We assured him that he would be made a partner after few years. He has done reasonably well!. Based on our commitment, he wishes to enter our business, but insist that we go for a pvt ltd company. We are okay with him joining us, but not sure which is the best way forward. Personally, i feel its too early to go for pvt ltd.

    1. If we take him as an equal partner. Must we close the books and split the profits among the current partners or can we continue as it is, and ask him to bring in capital. In which case, how much should he bring in and what should be the basis of calculation. If he brings in the required capital. Do we need to share the profits what we earned over the past few years with him.

    2. Alternatively, is it better to change over to a Pvt Ltd company. In which case, how should we do the calculation for capital.

    While we welcome the inclusion of the new partner. We also, do not want to lose out on the contribution and effort we took to set up our business.

    Pls provide me with your valuable advice and suggestions.

  60. Hello Mr. Himanshu,
    I am in a Salon & Spa business with two branches. Me and my sister are proprietors for each of them. With expansion plans in mind and to take our business to the next level we have decided to opt for a partnership firm which would simplify things to the extent of single entity dealing on various issues. I have gone through your posts and also visited the mca website and believe that LLP arrangement would be the best. (Please advise if this is correct).

    Both the premises are on rent. One of the owners is a tenant of that premises and not the actual owner. So there is a special agreement made called the ‘Business Conducting Agreement’ wherein the Landlord has given consent with the tenant agreeing to share the 1/3 of rent received since its not his business. My question is that apart from me and my sister as partners to the LLP can we include the tenant as LL Partner to avoid him paying 1/3 of rent to landlord saying that it his own business in partnership? Can we have his partnership limited only to the rent that we were paying him which could possibly change year after year?
