Change Name / Partners
An LLP's name and its partners can both change over its life, and each change has its own dedicated filing — RUN-LLP for a name change, and Form 3 and Form 4 for partner changes.
Changing an LLP's name starts with reserving the new name through the RUN-LLP service, followed by a supplementary LLP agreement and Form 3 to record the amendment, plus Form 5 for the name change itself once approved. Changing partners — whether adding, removing, or replacing someone — needs a supplementary agreement reflecting the new partner composition and is filed through Form 3 for the agreement change and Form 4 for the individual partner's appointment or cessation, each within 30 days of the change.
What this service covers
Both name changes and partner changes, individually or together.
- LLP name reservation via RUN-LLP
- Form 5 filing for the name change approval
- Addition of a new partner or designated partner
- Resignation or removal of an existing partner
- Supplementary agreement drafting for either change
- Form 3 and Form 4 filings within the statutory window

Why these changes need careful documentation
What sets our approach apart.
Partner changes affect liability and authority
An outgoing partner remains liable for obligations incurred before their resignation is filed — timely filing protects both the LLP and the departing partner.
Designated partner requirements must stay met
Every LLP needs at least two designated partners at all times — a resignation can't leave the LLP short of this minimum.
A name change affects every external record
PAN, GST, bank accounts and contracts all reference the LLP's name, so we flag what needs updating once the new name is approved.
