What is an LLC?

Find the right LLC attorney in Milledgeville, GA

The Limited Liability Company, or LLC, is a legal form of business organization that offers the benefits of several other traditional structures.

Also like corporations, LLC's may have as many shareholders, or members, as it likes. Unlike a corporation however, the death or bankruptcy of one of the members will dissolve the LLC. Business forms with limited liability have existed for hundreds of years, but the modern LLC became more popular in Georgia since the legislature enacted laws authorizing its creation.
