Partnership Firm : Section 4 of the Partnership Act defines that “Partnership” is the relation between persons who have agreed to share the profit of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all. ... However, there is no legal provision to declare the partnership firm to be a separate legal entity apart from its partners
Limited liability Partnership: LLP is an alternative corporate business form that gives the benefits of limited liability of a company and the flexibility of a partnership. ... The LLP is a separate legal entity, is liable to the full extent of its assets but the liability of the partners is limited to their agreed contribution to the LLP
