What is a limited liability company?



A limited liability company, or LLC, is an entity created under state laws which has characteristics of both a corporation and a partnership. Like a corporation, the owners of a LLC are not personally liable for the debts of the LLC. Like a partnership and sole proprietorship, an LLC has operating flexibility and is a pass-through entity for tax purposes. This means that the profits of the LLC are passed through and taxable to the owners of the LLC.
