Creating LLCs For Your Business Needs
WHAT IS A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY?
A Limited Liability Company is a type of business ownership combining several features of corporation and partnership structures. It is not a corporation or a partnership. The owners are called members not partners or shareholders. The number of members are unlimited and may be individuals, corporations or other LLC's
BENEFITS OF LLC FORM
Limited Liability. Doing business in the form of an LLC provides limited liability for all members. A LLC exists as a separate entity much like a corporation. Members cannot be held personally liable for debts unless they have signed a personal guarantee. Members cannot be held personally liable for negligent acts of other members or employees. Members are personally liable for their own negligent acts.
These are significant benefits as compared with other forms of business entities. However, the limited liability and tax benefits of doing business in the form of an LLC require that the LLC be treated as a separate entity and that it be operated in accordance with an operating agreement containing specific provisions.
