Process for Change in name of LLP



Quick Summary
Changing the name of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) requires a specific procedure, primarily guided by the LLP agreement. If the agreement is silent on name changes, all partners must provide their consent. The process involves checking name availability on the MCA site, filing specific forms like RUN and LLP-5 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), and obtaining a fresh certificate of change. The new name becomes effective from the date of this certificate, and a supplementary agreement may need to be executed and filed.

The limited liability partnership may change its name by following the procedure as laid down in the limited liability partnership agreement. Where the limited liability partnership agreement is silent on this matter, consent of all partners shall be required for changing the name of the limited liability partnership

In case there is no clause in the limited liability partnership agreement relating to change in the name the same can be made with the consent of all the partners of the limited liability partnership.
