LLCs - Limited Liability Company

LLCs may allow you and your business the opportunity to get the best of both worlds -- the liability protection of a corporation while still receiving the tax benefits of "pass through taxation".

Businesses that may benefit the most from the LLC structure are actively running businesses with 2 to 35 employees, small start-up companies, existing partnerships, businesses plainning to own property or those thinking of forming a S corporation.

There may be important differences between LLCs and other business entities, including Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships and Limited Liability Partnerships.
