What Should I Know About Creating My LLC?
What is an LLC?
​
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure in the United States that combines elements of both a corporation and a partnership or sole proprietorship. It offers the liability protection of a corporation with the tax efficiencies and operational flexibility of a partnership.
Key Features of an LLC
1. Personal Liability Protection:
- Owners (called members) are typically not personally liable for the debts and liabilities of the business. This means that personal assets such as cars and homes are generally protected if the business incurs debt or is sued.
2. Pass-Through Taxation/Tax Flexibility/Profit Distribution Flexibility:
- Profits and losses are passed through to the members and reported on their personal tax returns. This avoids the double taxation that corporations face. LLCs offer flexibility in taxation. Members can choose to be taxed as a sole proprietor, partnership, S corporation, or C corporation. This allows for optimization of tax strategies. Unlike a corporation, which must allocate profits based on the number of shares held, an LLC, unless taxed like a Corporation, can distribute profits among members in any way they see fit, irrespective of the members’ ownership stakes
3. Operational Flexibility:
- LLCs are not required to have a board of directors, hold annual meetings, or keep extensive records like corporations. This makes them easier to manage.
4. Fewer Compliance Requirements:
- Compared to corporations, LLCs have fewer regulatory requirements and less paperwork, which can save time and money.
5. Flexible Management Structure:
- LLCs can be managed by their members (owners) or by appointed managers. This allows for flexibility in how the business is run.
6. Customizable Ownership:
- An LLC can have an unlimited number of members, and these members can include individuals, corporations, other LLCs, and foreign entities.
Advantages of an LLC
- Personal Asset Protection: Members are protected from personal liability for business decisions or actions.
- Tax Options: LLCs can choose to be taxed as a sole proprietorship, partnership, S corporation, or C corporation.
- Less Paperwork: Easier to set up and maintain than a corporation.
- Credibility: Can enhance credibility with customers and suppliers.
​
An LLC is a versatile and popular business structure that offers many benefits, including limited liability protection, flexible management, and favorable taxation. However, it's essential to weigh these benefits against potential disadvantages, such as self-employment taxes and setup costs, to determine if an LLC is the right choice for your business.
Differences Between DBA (Fictitious Name), LLC, and Corporation
Choosing the right structure depends on your business needs, liability concerns, tax implications, and administrative preferences. Consider consulting with our Law Firm to determine the best fit for your specific situation.
DBA.
DBA is alias for an existing business, providing no liability protection or separate legal status. Simple and inexpensive to set up.
​
​1. Definition:
- A DBA, also known as a "fictitious business name" or "trade name," allows an individual or a company to conduct business under a different name from their legal, registered name.
2. Legal Structure:
- A DBA is not a separate legal entity; it is an alias for the owner or the entity that owns it.
- It does not provide any liability protection or separate the business owner's personal assets from the business's liabilities.
3. Purpose:
- DBAs are typically used by sole proprietors or existing companies wanting to operate multiple businesses under different names without creating new legal entities.
4. Registration:
- Registration requirements vary by state but generally involve filing with a local or state government office and paying a fee.
5. Advantages:
- Simple and inexpensive to set up.
- Allows for business name flexibility.
6. Disadvantages:
- No liability protection.
- Not a separate legal entity.

LLC (Limited Liability Company)
LLC is a separate legal entity offering limited liability protection and flexible tax options. Fewer formalities than a corporation.
​1. Definition:
- An LLC is a hybrid business entity that combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax efficiencies and operational flexibility of a partnership.
2. Legal Structure:
- It is a separate legal entity from its owners, meaning it can own property, enter into contracts, and be sued independently of its owners.
- Owners of an LLC are called members.
3. Liability Protection:
- Provides personal liability protection for its members, protecting their personal assets from business debts and claims.
4. Taxation:
- Offers flexible tax options: can be taxed as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation (S corporation or C corporation).
5. Formation:
- Requires filing Articles of Organization with the state and creating an Operating Agreement.
7. Disadvantages:
- Potentially higher setup and renewal fees than a DBA.
- Varies by state, with different rules and regulations.
2
Corporation
A Corporation is a distinct legal entity.
1. Definition:
- A corporation is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its owners, providing limited liability protection to its shareholders.
2. Legal Structure:
- A corporation can own property, be liable, pay taxes, and enter into contracts independently of its shareholders.
- Managed by a board of directors.
3. Liability Protection:
- Provides strong liability protection, shielding shareholders' personal assets from business liabilities and debts.
4. Taxation:
- Subject to corporate taxation (double taxation for C corporations, where profits are taxed at the corporate level and again as shareholder dividends).
- S corporations can avoid double taxation by passing income directly to shareholders.
5. Formation:
- Requires filing Articles of Incorporation with the state, creating bylaws, and adhering to more formalities and regulations.
6. Advantages:
- Ability to raise capital by issuing stock.
7. Disadvantages:
- More complex and expensive to set up and maintain.

4. What is the difference between an LLC and a corporation?
o LLCs offer flexible tax options and fewer formalities, while corporations provide more robust liability protection and easier access to capital through stock issuance.
5. How are LLCs taxed?
By default, a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship and a multi-member LLC is taxed as a partnership. However, LLCs can elect to be taxed as an S corporation or C corporation.
6. What is an Operating Agreement, and is it required?
An Operating Agreement is a document that outlines the management structure and operating procedures of the LLC. While not always legally required, it is highly recommended to prevent conflicts and ensure smooth operation.
7. Can an LLC have only one member?

8. What is the difference between a member-managed and manager-managed LLC?
In a member-managed LLC, all members participate in the daily operations and decision-making. In a manager-managed LLC, specific members or outside managers are appointed to handle the daily operations, allowing non-managing members to be passive investors.
9. Do I need a business license to operate an LLC?
o Requirements vary by state and industry. In many cases, you will need state and local licenses and permits to legally operate your LLC.
10. Can I change the structure of my LLC later?
Yes, you can change the structure of your LLC, such as converting it to a corporation or changing from a member-managed to a manager-managed LLC, but it requires filing the necessary documents and possibly amending the Operating Agreement.
