Overview
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) operates under a registered name which is mentioned in its incorporation documents and all statutory records. However, as the business grows, there may be a need to change this name. A name change may be required due to rebranding, expansion into new markets, a shift in business objectives, or even to create a more appealing and professional brand image. This change is perfectly allowed under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, provided it is done following the prescribed legal procedure.
To change an LLP’s name, the partners must first pass a resolution approving the new name. Then, an application must be filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to reserve the new name. Once the name is approved, the LLP agreement must be amended to reflect this change. The supplementary LLP agreement is then filed along with the prescribed forms and fees. After the Registrar of Companies verifies and approves the application, a fresh Certificate of Incorporation is issued with the new name.
Changing the name of the LLP is a sensitive process because the new name will appear on all legal documents, licenses, bank accounts, invoices, and GST registrations. Hence, it is important to complete the process carefully and ensure that all stakeholders are informed about the change to avoid confusion or compliance issues.
