Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a hybrid between a corporation and a limited partnership. Members are afforded the limited liability of corporate shareholders and the pass through tax advantages of a partnership without the restrictions imposed on limited partnerships and Subchapter S corporations. Management and ownership may be structured in any fashion as specified in the Operating Agreement, thereby allowing for total flexibility in income distribution. Advantages of a Limited Liability Company The entity may have any number of stockholders, unlike a sub S corporation that is restricted to a maximum of 75 investors. In addition, corporations, partnerships, certain kinds of trust, and non-resident alien individuals are prohibited from being shareholders of a sub S corporation. Limited Liability Companies are not subject to these restrictions. Limited Liability Companies do not required the appointment of a general partner with unlimited liability as in a partnership structure.
