Steps involved in the conversion of a Sole proprietorship into an LLP

  • DSC (Digital Signature Certificate)-

DSC is required and must be obtained by the designated LLP partners. The documents which are required to be submitted contain Identity Proof & Address Proof to receive this DSC.

  • Apply for DPIN (Designated Partner Identification Number)-

The conversion phase is a prerequisite for DPIN. This specific DPIN number should be processed or approved by the appointed partners and they should obtain a provisional DPIN. Partners should provide photos, proof of identity, and proof of address to obtain the DPIN.

  • Application for name availability–

The application to convert the business as an LLP is expected to be completed in the FORM-1 for the organization’s availability of a name. A maximum of 6 names in the order of priority may be suggested by the partner, and the application must then be sent to the respective ROC for approval of the name.

  • Changes if any suggested by the ROC–

If the ROC suggests any change in the name application, it must be complied with and if the ROC finds that the name is not suitable for the business, he/she will reject the name.

  • Documents required–

Several documents must be submitted to the ROC. The MOA or AOA must be submitted immediately after the designated partners have verified it and must be sent for the purpose of printing. A Stamping is also needed for multiple Document such as:

  1. Agreement LLP
  2. Forms 3
  3. The promoters’ signed subscription sheet
  4. LLP Agreement Duly Stamped
  5. Evidence of Registered Office Address
  6. Other forms required: Other forms must be filed along with the ROC, such as Form 32 and letter of Authority or POA.
  • Final procedure:

You must follow up with the ROC and make the required changes to the MOA or AOA or other stated documents as given priority by the ROC to fill in all of the above mandatory documents with the ROC. Below are the mandatory steps to be taken,

  • Upload the forms–The MCA platform must upload all the accurately completed forms. An online service is available for the forms.
  • Fee payment– For the incorporation process, the fees must be charged.
  • Collecting the Incorporation Certificate– after the ROC is satisfied that all the required steps have been properly followed and no errors have occurred during the initial to the final process, he/she will provide the Company with the Incorporation Certificate.

BENEFITS OF PROPRIETORSHIP TURNING INTO LLP

  • The Automated Switch

All the firm’s assets and liabilities become the LLP’s assets and liabilities immediately before the conversion.

  • No Tax on Stamps

All the company’s movable and immovable assets are deposited automatically in the LLP. No transfer instrument is required to be executed, and no stamp duty is therefore required to be paid.

  • No Tax on capital gains

No tax on capital gains is imposed on the transfer of assets from the Sole Proprietorship business to the LLP.

  • Carry forward/Set-Off

The business’s cumulative loss and unabsorbed depreciation is known to be the loss/depreciation of the LLP successor for the previous year in which the conversion was carried out. This failure can also be taken into the possession of the successor LLP for an additional eight years.

  • Expansion of business

You will have more opportunities for business expansion after Conversion into LLP from Sole Proprietorship.

  • Management skills:  

Can have better management skills to effectively run the business as by converting Sole Proprietorship to LLP, because more than one person will operate the business with designated partners skills and mutual terms/agreement
