Short Answer: LLPs are Partnership Firms with a superhero cape! 🦸‍♂️
Partnership Firms are easier to start, but LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships) offer personal liability protection, legal status, and way more professionalism. 💼✅


📋 Key Differences You Need to Know:

1️⃣ Legal Identity
🔹 Partnership Firm = No separate legal entity from its partners.
🔹 LLP = Separate legal entity under LLP Act, 2008.

2️⃣ Liability
🔹 Partnership Firm = Unlimited liability. Your personal assets are on the line! 🏚️
🔹 LLP = Limited liability. Personal assets are safe unless fraud is proven. 🛡️

4️⃣ Compliance & Taxation
🔹 LLPs have stricter compliance (annual filings), but better brand credibility.
🔹 Both taxed similarly, but LLPs attract investors and bigger clients easily! 🏦
