Launch your business with the most popular entity type in the United States. An LLC combines personal liability protection with flexible tax treatment, giving you the best of both worlds.
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure that separates your personal assets from your company's debts and obligations. If your business faces a lawsuit or cannot pay its debts, creditors generally cannot come after your home, car, savings, or other personal property. This protection alone makes the LLC the preferred choice for small business owners, freelancers, and real estate investors across the country.
Unlike a corporation, an LLC does not require a board of directors, annual shareholder meetings, or complex record-keeping. You have the freedom to structure management however you see fit through an Operating Agreement, which outlines each member's ownership percentage, profit distribution, and decision-making authority. This flexibility is one of the primary reasons more than 70% of new business filings in the U.S. choose the LLC structure.
From a tax perspective, LLCs offer significant advantages. By default, a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship and a multi-member LLC is taxed as a partnership. In both cases, profits pass through to the owners' personal tax returns, avoiding the double taxation that affects C Corporations. If it benefits your situation, you can also elect to have your LLC taxed as an S Corporation or C Corporation by filing the appropriate forms with the IRS.
Your home, savings, and personal property stay protected from business debts and legal claims. The LLC creates a legal wall between your personal finances and your company.
Choose the tax classification that saves you the most money. Start with pass-through taxation and switch to S Corp election when it makes sense for your income level.
LLCs require far less paperwork than corporations. Most states require only an annual report and a registered agent on file to stay in good standing.
