  An LLP may decide to opt for creditors’ voluntary winding up if its partners are of the opinion that it cannot by reason of its liabilities continue its business. The LLP will have to convene a meeting of its creditors to allow them to consider its proposal for the company to be wound up. If the creditors agree, the LLP has to appoint a liquidator or provisional liquidator to wind up its affairs and file the necessary notifications required under the LLP Act.

  Compulsory Winding Up
  An LLP may be wound up under an Order of the Court under certain circumstances e.g. the LLP is unable to pay its debts. The Court may appoint a liquidator to wind up the affairs of the LLP. Where no liquidator is appointed by the Court, the Official Receiver shall be the liquidator of the LLP. The liquidator will file the necessary notifications required under the LLP Act.

  Winding Up by Tribunal
  Winding up of LLP can be initiated by a Tribunal for the following reasons:

• The LLP wants to be wound up.
• There are less than two Partners in the LLP for a period of more than 6 months.
• The LLP is not in a position to pay its debts.
• The LLP has acted against the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of State or public order.
• The LLP has not filed with the Registrar Statement of Accounts and Solvency or LLP Annual Returns for any five consecutive financial years.
• The Tribunal is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that the LLP should be wound up.

  DISSOLUTION OF FIRM:
  Dissolution of a firm means a firm ceases to exist. The relationship existing between the partners discontinues. The whole firm is dissolved and the partnership terminates. The dissolution of partnership between all the partners of the firm is called the DISSOLUTION OF THE FIRM’ [sec.39].Dissolution puts an end to the right of the partners to exist as a going concern and is followed by its liquidation.
  Dissolution of a firm is different from dissolution of partnership. Dissolution of partnership involves a change in the relationship of partners and a new firm is reconstituted.For eg:- A, B and C are partners in the firm and C retires.The partnership between A, B and C comes to an end and partnership between A and B comes into being. Thus retirement of a partner does not dissolve the firm. It merely severs the relation between retiring partner and continuing partners.

Working Capital

Working Capital Loan can be defined as a loan availed by the firms for covering their daily operational expenses. These loans are the excellent way for the businesses to become more focused on their growth and generate capital. The working capital loans in India have become popular among the business owners for tackling with their financial needs. These loans are not used for buying long-term assets and generally used for covering wages, accounts payable and other similar operations.

This loan is applicable for the small & medium enterprises for augmenting their working capital needs and meeting the daily operational expenditure. The majority of the working capital loans is unsecured, however the loans with high risks need some guarantee. The usual duration of a working capital in our country is from 6 to 12 months.

Types of Working Capital Loans:

Bank Overdraft Facility :
An overdraft allows business to borrow money through their current account. One advantage of this is that the borrower only pays interest for the amount that has been overdrawn.

Bank Guarantees:
A bank guarantee is when the lending institution guarantees that the liabilities of the debtor will be met, if the debtor fails to settle a debt.

Letter of Credit:
A letter of credit from a bank guarantees that the seller will receive his specified amount on a specified date if the delivery conditions are met as decided.

Packing Credit (PC):
Packing Credit is offered to exporters to help them finance the purchase and import of raw materials, and the processing and packing of the goods meant for export.

Post Shipment Finance:
Post Shipment Credit is offered to exporters to help them finance export sales receivables, after the date of shipment of goods till the date of realization of export proceeds.

Bill Discounting :
While discounting a bill, the Bank buys the bill (i.e. Bill of Exchange or Promissory Note) before it is due and credits the value of the bill after a discount charge to the customer’s account.

Buyer’s Credit :
A loan facility extended to an importer by a bank or financial institution to finance the purchase of capital goods or services and other big-ticket items. Buyer’s credit is a very useful mode of financing in international trade, since foreign buyers seldom pay cash for large purchases, while few exporters have the capacity to extend substantial amounts of long-term credit to their buyers. A buyer’s credit facility involves a bank that can extend credit to the importer, as well as an export finance agency based in the exporter’s country that guarantees the loan.

Factoring or Advances:
The Factoring working capital loan works in a similar way as the accounts receivable loans, the only dissimilarity is that the value of the loan is based on the future credit card receipts. This type of loan is perfect for the businesses who accept the credit card payments.

Short-term loan:
A short-term loan comes with a fixed interest rate for a maximum term of 12 months. The business’s good credit history and relationship with the lender can allow them to get a short-term loan without securing any collateral.

Equity funding from investors or personal resources:
This type of loan is perfect for a new business that does not have a good credit history. Equity funding is generally obtained from personal resources.

Benefits of Working Capital Loan:

 Cash credit or overdraft facility to meet day to day business requirements.
 Export credit facility to offer pre and post shipment capital to exporters.

Advantages of a Proprietorship

Minimal Compliance
Sole Proprietorships are only recognised via their government and tax registrations, so the extent of their compliance is limited to the annual filing of their GST or professional.

Easy to Start
A sole proprietorship could take 15 days to start if all you need is a Service Tax Registration, but this would stretch to even 45 days if you need Sales Tax Registration. Either way, the process is uncomplicated. PAN card and identity and address proofs are enough to get them done.

Relatively Inexpensive
