What Is an LLC?

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure combining corporate and partnership elements. It offers personal liability protection to its owners, known as members, safeguarding their assets from business debts and lawsuits. At the same time, it provides operational flexibility and tax advantages, making it an attractive option for many entrepreneurs.

Establishing an LLC requires adherence to specific procedures. The process varies by state, with each having unique regulations, fees, and requirements for LLC formation. Here are the main ones:

• Select a unique business name

• File Articles of Organization with the state of Florida

• Create an Operating Agreement. Each state, including Florida, has unique regulations affecting LLC formation and operation, adding layers of complexity to the process.

The choice of an LLC structure is particularly appealing due to its liability protection. Members are not personally liable for the company's debts or legal troubles. Additionally, LLCs enjoy a flexible tax structure, often benefiting from pass-through taxation, where business profits are taxed only once on the members' personal tax returns, avoiding the double taxation corporations face.
