What is a Limited Liability Company?

  • In today's 'lawsuit-happy' environment, placing a legal shield between you and your business is more important than ever. As a separate entity, LLCs do just that. There’s no personal liability for any LLC debts, even if they relate to a contract or tort. This business structure protects your assets from being held personally liable for dues incurred by the business. But, while legally separating businesses from the owner, it can elect treatment as a partnership for tax purposes. As such, the LLC doesn't pay any tax itself. Instead, the income passes through to the owners like with partnerships, thanks to the tax rules governing partnerships that aren’t as rigid, allowing more flexibility in tax planning.
    LLCs are also easy to run and manage, with no limitations regarding how many members can be involved or where they’re located. Formed on the Freedom to Contract principle, owners need to agree among themselves on how to run the company, and courts will uphold that agreement. Even better, with an LLC, no law requires resolutions, amendments, meeting minutes, or annual board meetings.

Understanding a Limited Liability Company

  • Many states don’t have strict regulations on who can become an owner of an LLC. Everyone can be a member, including individuals, corporations, and foreign entities.

    LLC is a formal business organization that requires the articles of organization to be filed with the states. Many individuals favor it more as it is easier to set up than a corporation and provides more protection for its owners.

    One of the most significant reasons owners prefer LLCs is that federal taxes are not paid directly. Instead, the owner’s personal tax returns report these profits and losses.

LLC vs Sole Proprietorship

  • The main difference between these two types of ownership is the number of owners. An LLC can also appoint a manager, whereas the sole proprietor is the one to perform its responsibilities.

LLC vs Partnership

  • While there is no limit to how many owners an LLC can have, it can still be owned by a single person. Meanwhile, a partnership needs at least two members to be formed. No documents or paperwork are needed for a partnership formation, but an LLC must obtain a certificate in the state where it will be established.

LLC vs Corporations

  • An LLC is owned by one or more individuals, whereas shareholders own a corporation. The latter can issue stock and sell percentages to its owners, which they can practice according to how they see fit, such as transferring shares, purchasing more stock for larger company ownership, or selling to own less.

    These two entities' management also differs: an LLC is flexible, while a corporation is more strict. Anyone can manage an LLC, but a corporation must have a Board of Directors to handle daily operations.

Forming an LLC

  • Starting an LLC varies by state as they have different requirements, but there are general things you must do.

    First and foremost, owners and members must agree on a name for their company. Afterward, articles of organization must be documented and filed with the state. These legal papers indicate the obligations of each member of the LLC, such as their rights, powers, duties, and liabilities.

    The documents also include the names and addresses of your LLC’s members, your business’s registered agent, and a statement of purpose. You must pay a fee directly to the state and submit it at a federal level upon filing the paperwork. Doing so gives you an employer identification number or EIN.

Advantages and Disadvantages of an LLC

Advantages

  • Asset Protection
  • Tax Advantages
  • Ability to Raise Capital
  • Easy to Run

Disadvantages

  • Only available to privately owned companies
  • Can lose pass - through tax treatment
  • Possible state imposed income tax

LLC Cost

  • Name Reservation

    Some states require you to reserve a company name before you start filing the necessary paperwork. This would cost around $10 to $50. However, most states don’t make this obligatory.

  • Location

    Starting an LLC requires meticulous planning and deliberation of costs. Before you begin processing your LLC, you must first consider in what state you’ll register your LLC, as it affects the total amount you’ll pay.

    For instance, operating a business in Texas will only require you to pay for the state’s fees. However, starting one in Texas but registering for a Michigan LLC will entail paying both states’ fees.

  • Articles of Organization

    Another factor to consider is the “Articles of Organization” or “Certificate of Formation” fee, which varies from state to state. Your payment will go directly to the state to finalize your LLC.

    For example, Delaware has a filing fee of $90 and a recurring annual franchise tax of $300. Some states, such as Arizona, Minnesota, South Carolina, and New Mexico, have no recurring fees. However, some will still require you to submit an annual report to give information about your LLC, such as its status and any change of members or management.

  • Newspaper Publication

    Certain states require LLCs to publish a notice of business formation in a local newspaper, ranging from $100 to over $1000, depending on where you’ll publish it and how long it will be posted.

    Arizona and Nebraska subject LLCs to be published daily for three consecutive weeks, while New York has a longer duration of six weeks.

    LLC vs S-Corp: What is the difference?
    LLC vs S-Corp: What is the difference?

    The primary difference between an LLC (Limited Liability Company) and an S-Corp (S Corporation) lies in their tax treatment and ownership structure. An LLC is a more flexible business entity, allowing an unlimited number of members and offering a "pass-through" tax system. This means that profits and losses are passed through to the individual members, who report them on their personal tax returns. In contrast, an S-Corp is subject to more restrictions, with a maximum of 100 shareholders who must be U.S. citizens or residents, and the business itself files a separate tax return, but the entity doesn't pay federal income tax. Both entities offer limited liability protection, shielding owners' personal assets from business debts. The choice between an LLC and an S-Corp hinges on factors such as the business's size, growth aspirations, management preferences, and compliance requirements, warranting careful consideration and professional advice.
