| Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) | Combines company’s limited liability with partnership’s flexibility; Lower compliance burden. | LLP Act, 2008 |
| One Person Company (OPC) | Suited for single entrepreneurs; one person shareholder and director; provides Limited Liability protection. | Companies Act, 2013 |
| Partnership Firm | Governed by an agreement; Unlimited Liability for partners; registration is optional but recommended. | Indian Partnership Act, 1932 |
