Which is better for raising funds?

A Private Limited company is preferred by investors because it can issue equity shares and ESOPs; LLPs cannot raise equity the same way.

Which has lower compliance?

An LLP generally has lighter annual compliance than a Private Limited company, but fewer fundraising options.
