A limited liability company is a business entity that protects business owners from personal liability. In addition to personal liability from the actions of co-owners or employees, an LLC provides a business with an operating structure for multiple owners including, but not limited to membership rules, decision making, profit and loss division, buyout agreements, and succession planning. Limited Liability Companies sometimes afford owners additional tax options.
