Overview

Admitting a new partner

As an LLP grows, you may want to bring in a new designated partner — to add capital, expertise or capacity, or to meet the requirement of having at least two designated partners. A designated partner carries responsibility for the LLP’s compliance, so the appointment must be done formally.

The incoming partner needs a DPIN and a digital signature, must give consent, and is admitted through a supplementary LLP agreement. The change is then filed with the Registrar using Form 4 and Form 3. KNAP Advisory manages every step so the new partner is validly on record.
