30) Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)

Learn the ins and outs of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and how they can benefit your business.

Welcome to another video from Jon’s Bookkeeping.

I’m Jon Cooney and today I want to talk about limited liability companies, or LLCs.

Are you considering an LLC business entity? In this video, I’ll dive into the basics, benefits, and different types of LLCs.

An LLC is a hybrid business structure that combines:

  • Limited personal liability protection for owners (members)

  • Flexibility in ownership and management structures

  • Pass-through taxation (default)

  • Simple and flexible governance

The benefits of an LLC include:

  • Personal liability protection: separates personal and business assets

  • Tax flexibility: choose from pass-through taxation or corporate taxation

  • Flexibility in ownership and management: customize roles and responsibilities

  • Enhanced credibility and professionalism: build trust with customers and investors

  • Potential for better funding options: attract investors and lenders

There are several types of LLCs:

  • Single-member LLC (SMLLC): one owner, simplified management

  • Multi-member LLC (MMLLC): multiple owners, flexible management

  • Professional LLC (PLLC): for licensed professionals, such as lawyers or doctors

  • Series LLC: for holding multiple businesses or assets

Here’s an LLC example:

Imagine a freelancer starting an LLC.

They'll enjoy personal liability protection, tax flexibility, and enhanced credibility.

As the business grows, they can add members or change management structures.

In summary, LLCs offer protection, flexibility, and room for growth.

Consider your business goals, liability concerns, and financial situation before deciding.

Consult with a professional to ensure you're making the best choice.
