LLP Office Change

The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) structure is a popular choice among professionals and small businesses in India, offering the benefits of a partnership along with limited liability for its partners. However, there may come a time when you need to change the registered office of your LLP, be it for expansion, operational efficiency, or strategic reasons. This process involves legal formalities and compliance with the provision of the LLP Act, 2008.

Why Change Your LLP Office?

Changing your LLP's registered office can be due to multiple reasons:

  • Cost Efficiency: Moving to a location with lower rental or operational costs.
  • Market Expansion: Shifting to a more strategic location to tap into a new market.
  • Regulatory Requirements: Complying with local regulations that favor or mandate operations in specific areas.
  • Infrastructure Needs: Acquiring a space that better accommodates your business's physical or technological needs.

Legal Framework

The LLP Act, 2008, governs the process for changing an LLP's registered office. The process varies slightly depending on whether the change is within the same city or to a different state. It’s critical to comply with statutory conditions to avoid penalties or interruptions in business operations.

Process Overview

  1. Decision and Resolution: The decision to change the registered office must be approved by all partners and recorded as a resolution.
  2. Filing Form 15: The LLP must file Form 15 with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) with details of the new office, along with the necessary attachments.
  3. Publication of Notification: You're required to publish a notice in a local newspaper conveying the change in address.
  4. Modifications to LLP Agreement: Updating the LLP Agreement to reflect the new registered office address.
  5. Compliance Check: Ensure all documents comply with regulatory standards to avoid any legal hindrance.

Detailed Steps for LLP Office Change

Step 1: Partner Meeting and Resolution

Organize a meeting with all partners to propose the change of office location. The decision should pass a resolution to positively change the registered office. Ensure the resolution is signed by all partners.

Step 2: Drafting and Filing of Form 15

In this step, you need to draft and submit Form 15 via the MCA portal. The form should include precise details like the new office address, resolution copy, and any necessary attachments.

Step 3: Newspaper Publication

You are required to publish an announcement of your LLP office relocation in one or two newspapers circulating in the area of both the previous and new office locations. This serves as a formal declaration of the change.

Step 4: Amend LLP Agreement

Revise your LLP Agreement to incorporate the new office details. The amended agreement must be filed with RoC along with Form 3.

Step 5: Registrar Confirmation

Upon successful scrutiny of submitted documents, the Registrar will approve the change. You will receive a confirmation notice which is mandatory to maintain the effective date of change.
