Limited Liability Company

A limited liability company (LLC) is a cross between a corporation and a partnership. This type of business organization offers more protection from creditors' claims than a partnership. In this way, it is similar to a corporation, but it is also a pass-through entity so it shares the features of a partnership. However, LLCs have distinct features and requirements. In an LLC, the owners are called members. Members, in turn, can be individuals or corporations. However, unlike a partnership where profits and losses are evenly distributed according to the partnership agreement, there is greater flexibility in this regard for a limited liability company.

Further, in order to establish an LLC, it is necessary to file articles of organization with the secretary of state. Another way that LLCs are similar to partnerships is that a limited liability company is required to have an operating agreement. The operating agreement should specify who the members are, what the role and responsibility of each member will be and how profits will be shared between or among the members. The operating agreement should also contemplate changes in ownership if other members are invited to join the enterprise or if an existing member decides to sell his or her interest. Finally, because this is also a pass-through structure, members report income and losses on personal income tax returns.
