Hi,

Is it possible to convert an LLP to a Private Limited Company? To begin with I do not want to burden myself with the statutory requirements & costs involved in a company & wish to take off as an LLP. But later on if I need to convert to Pvt. Ltd. is there a provision to do so?

Also I wish to know generally how long does it take to finish all the steps involved in LLP formation. Like for company formation, is it mandatory to take the services of a CS(or CA) for LLP registration or can it be done following the procedure given on the llp.gov.in website?

Regards,

Raghavendra
