What is an LLC?

Find the right LLC attorney in Pompano Beach, FL

The Limited Liability Company, or LLC, is a legal form of business organization that offers the benefits of several other traditional structures. An LLC has the same benefit of limited liability that a corporation does, but without being taxed as its own entity. Instead, it's taxed more similarly to a sole proprietorship or partnership. 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 Florida since the legislature enacted laws authorizing its creation.

Can My Business Be Formed as an LLC?

The right business form is a decision left up to each business that openes in Florida. An LLC is started just by filing the appropriate form with the Secretary of State. However, some charge additional fees for the formation of LLC?s, and in Florida there are particular laws that govern the actions of LLC?s. Applicable laws are a primary consideration in the decision of whether to organize as an LLC. The right business structure for your company might be difficult to find, but different structures can end up saving your company a lot of money.

Changing business forms in Pompano Beach can be done if a company's situation meets specific conditions. Conversion to a LLC is possible if Florida law permits it in your situation.
