What is an LLC?

Find the right LLC attorney in Eden Prairie, MN

The legal business form of the LLC, or Limited Liability Company, offers the advantages of several other traditional business forms. Limited liability is an advantage that the LLC shares with the corporation, but instead of being taxed as its own entity, it is viewed more like a sole proprietorship or partnership for tax purposes. Like a corporation, the LLC can also have an endless amount of shareholders, called members. Unlike a corporation however, if a member dies, files for bankruptcy, or otherwise leaves the LLC, the company is dissolved. Business forms with limited liability have existed for hundreds of years, but the modern LLC became more popular in Minnesota since the legislature enacted laws authorizing its creation.

Can My Business Be Formed as an LLC?

Minnesota allows a company to incorporate using the business form it chooses. To start as an LLC, a company just files the necessary form with the Secretary of State.

In deciding whether you should organize as an LLC, you should consider carefully the applicable laws.
