A Limited Liability Company (LLC) may be every businessman's dream. By forming an LLC, industries ranging from real-estate to construction will reap numerous benefits and provide more opportunities for the company and its clients.
For those who do not know what an LLC is, here is a brief description. LLC is a business structure that allows your company to enjoy legal responsibility like those of a corporation while avoiding annual reports, share distributions, bylaws, and other necessities when setting up a company.
Forming an LLC is helpful especially to fledgling businesses. It merges control and tax advantages of a partnership while having the advantage of limited accountability. LLC members are also protected from liability for business debts or claims. An LLC is more flexible than a corporation because owners can be individuals, trusts, partnerships, corporations and non-resident aliens. Plus maintenance is easy; LLC has less formalities and easier than running a corporation.
What to expect after filing an LLC
Once you have decided to file for an LLC, you will receive two articles with a CD explaining the documents. The two articles are the Articles of Organization and the operating agreement. They will come along with the corporate or LLC kit.
The Articles of Organization formalizes your existence under state law. Once you have filed this, you have a legitimate business up and running.
This document spells out the name, purpose, incorporators, amount and types of stock which may be issued and any other special characteristics of the business entity. The Operating Agreement on the other hand, contains the written rules for conduct of the LLC. These include meetings, elections of a board of directors and officers, notices, types and duties of officers, and other standard protocol.
You will also have a registered agent who can acknowledge official documents on your behalf. Examples of the documents you'll be receiving are tax notices, annual reports and legal-process documents such as summons, etc.
The last steps include filing for an Article of Amendment to reflect the changing of your company from a corporation to an LLC. You also need to file an Initial or Annual Report. Business filing experts can help process necessary changes in your business.
