The right structure depends on who the owners are, whether you plan to raise equity funding, and how much compliance you are ready to handle.
Private Limited company: a separate legal entity owned through shares. It is the usual choice for startups that plan to take equity investment. It needs at least two directors and two shareholders, and has annual filings with the Registrar of Companies and an audit.
LLP: a flexible partnership with limited liability. Compliance is lighter than a company, and audit applies only above prescribed limits. An LLP cannot issue shares, which can make equity fundraising harder.
One Person Company: a company with a single shareholder, suited to solo founders who want limited liability. Its compliance is similar to a company's.
