A Limited Liability Corporation or LLC is considered one of the less complex structures, unlike an S corporation or J corporation the structure or an LLC is more flexible. In an LLC the the business itself is its own legal entity that has separate debts and legal matters: the LLC structure combines the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation and legal protection for your personal assets. By forming an LLC, only the LLC is liable for the debts and liabilities incurred by the business.
Advantages:
Pass through taxation: The LLC typically does not pay taxes for itself. Instead, the net income/loss is "passed through" to the personal income of the owner(s)/
member(s), and is simply taxed as personal income. Hence, there's no need to file a corporate tax return. LLC owners report their share of profit and loss on their individual tax returns, even avoiding double taxation. Less Regulation & Ownership: The LLC does not involve as much paperwork and has less regulations opposed to other corporate forms. Also, those who are member LLC need not be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Disadvantages:
Self Employment Taxes: Although Pass Through Taxation is an LLC benefit, it can also be a disadvantage. Sometimes the taxes that are passed through and reported as personal income of LLC members will be higher than the taxes at a corporate level.LLC Termination Usually, if a member departs an LLC, then the LLC is terminated and ceases to exist. This is unlike a corporation where it still exists regardless of what shareholders come and go.
