What is an LLC?
LLCs (Limited Liability Corporations) are a type of business structure that basically takes the liability protection that a corporation would have and combines it with the simple management structure of a partnership or sole proprietorship. This makes LLCs advantageous for owners in a number of ways.
One way they benefit their owners (or members) is, as the name LLC suggests, by limiting their personal liability in regards to the financial standing of the company. This means that they would be able to rest easy knowing that their personal assets were protected were the company to face financial or legal difficulties. LLCs also protect employees and members from double taxation.
