Form an LLC Online in Alabama (AL)
What is an LLC?
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a form of a business entity that combines the corporate structure with elements of a partnership. Corporations provide limited liability to its owners (stockholders) while partnerships provide pass-through single taxation to its owners (partners). LLCs are unique in that they combine the limited liability protection to its members found in corporations and pass through taxation like a partnership (which avoids double taxation that occurs with most corporations).
