What are the specific qualities of an LLC?
As discussed above, the LLC is advantageous for small businesses because it combines the limited personal liability feature of a corporation with the tax advantages of a partnership and sole proprietorship. Profits and losses can be passed through the company to its members or the LLC can elect to be taxed like a corporation. LLCs do not have stock and are not required to observe corporate formalities, such as the maintenance of annual director or shareholder minutes. Owners are called members, and the LLC is managed by these members or by appointed managers.
