What is an LLC?

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

Limited Liability: The owners (members) of the LLC enjoy personal protection against some or all liability of the debts and acts of the LLC.
