Change LLP Main Object

Change of LLP Main Object

As an LLP grows, its business focus may shift—new services, new markets or an entirely new direction. Since the LLP Agreement defines what the firm can legally do, updating the main object becomes essential. The process requires partner approval, drafting an amended agreement and filing it with MCA. Done correctly, it keeps the LLP compliant while giving it the freedom to pursue new opportunities.

Form 3 must be filed with MCA to record the updated LLP Agreement containing the revised objects.
