LLC - limited liability company
  • A limited liability company (LLC) is a corporate
    structure whereby the members of the company
    cannot be held personally liable for the
    company's debts or liabilities. Limited
    liability companies are essentially hybrid
    entities that combine the characteristics of
    a corporation and a partnership or sole
    proprietorship. While the limited liability
    feature is similar to that of a corporation, the
    availability of flow-through taxation to the
    members of an LLC is a feature of partnerships.

BREAKING DOWN 'Limited Liability Company - LLC'
  • Although LLCs have some attractive features, they
    also have a number of disadvantages, especially
    in relation to the structure of a corporation. A
    LLC has to be dissolved upon the death
    or bankruptcy of a member, unlike a corporation,
    which can exist in perpetuity. Also, a LLC may
    not be a suitable option when the objective of
    the founder is to eventually become a publicly
    listed company.

Protections of a Corporation
  • The primary reason an LLC is selected as an
    ownership structure is to limit the principals'
    personal liability. An LLC is often thought of as
    a blend of a partnership, which is a simple
    business formation of two or more owners under an
    agreement, and a corporation which is afforded
    certain liability protections. An LLC is a more
    formal partnership arrangement requiring articles
    of organization to be filed with the state. An
    LLC is much easier to set up than a corporation,
    and it provides more flexibility along with the
    protection. However, creditors may be able to
    pierce the corporate veil of an LLC in cases of
    fraud or when legal and reporting requirements
    havent been met.

Flexibility of a Partnership
  • The primary difference between a partnership and
    an LLC is that an LLC is designed to separate the
    business assets of the company from the personal
    assets of the owner, which has the effect of
    insulating the owners from the LLC's debts and
    liabilities. An LLC functions similar to a
    partnership in that the profits of the company
    pass through to owners tax return. Losses can be
    used to offset other income, but only up to the
    amount invested. The LLC only files an
    informational tax return.
  • In terms of the sale or transfer of the business,
    a business continuation agreement is the only way
    to ensure the smooth transfer of interests when
    one of the owners leaves or dies. Absent a
    business continuation agreement, an LLC must be
    dissolved in the event of a bankruptcy or the
    death of a partner.

How Does an LLC Protect You?
  • One of the primary advantages of an LLC is that
    its owners, called members, have "limited
    liability," meaning that, under most
    circumstances, they are not personally liable for
    the debts and liabilities of the LLC.
  • For example, if an LLC is forced into bankruptcy,
    then the members will not be usually be required
    to pay the LLC's debts with their own money. If
    the assets of the LLC are not enough to  the
    debts and liabilities, the creditors generally
    cannot look to the owners for payment. Their debt
    was with the LLC, not the people that owned the
    LLC.

Benefits of an LLC Flexible, Scalable, and Simple
  • LLCs aren't bound by the same rigid rules of
    corporations, but this doesn't stop them from
    being just as useful. It doesn't matter if you're
    a one-man business or if you have hundreds of
    employees, an LLC keeps protecting you while
    allowing for expansion and growth. With an LLC,
    there's no requirement for special meetings,
    extensive corporate records, or many other
    formalities. Limited liability companies are even
    flexible when it comes to taxes, offering lots of
    options so you can create a tax plan that works
    for you.
  • This simplicity, protection, and ease of use have
    made forming an LLC a popular choice for small
    businesses

Ownership Percentages
  • LLC ownership can be expressed in two ways (1)
    by percentage and (2) by membership units, which
    are similar to shares of stock in a corporation.
    In either case, ownership confers the right to
    vote and the right to share in profits.
  • Unlike a corporation, an LLC can distribute its
    ownership interests as it pleases, without regard
    to how much money or property a member
    contributes to the company. For example, if Sam
    contributes 10,000 to the company and is a
    silent partner, and Rick contributes no money,
    but runs the company on a daily basis, they could
    still decide to split the membership interests
    50-50.
