What is an LLC?

Find the right LLC attorney in Aberdeen, MD

The legal business form of the LLC, or Limited Liability Company, offers the advantages of several other traditional business forms. 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, a LLC can have unlimited shareholders, called members. But a main difference is if one of these shareholders dies or files for bankruptcy, the LLC is dissolved and will stop operations unless the remaining members form a new LLC. For hundreds of years, limited liability has been a main goal of some business forms, but since the Maryland legislature enacted laws authorizing its formation, the modern LLC has become more and more popular.

Can My Business Be Formed as an LLC?

Businesses in Maryland may organize using whatever form they choose. The office of the Secretary of State is the organization that accepts filings by those who want to open LLC's. However, there can be an additional fee required for forming your LLC, determined by Maryland laws that govern the formation and 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.

Can I Change the Form of My Business to an LLC?

A business in Aberdeen may change its form under certain conditions. Whether or not a business is eligible for conversion to a LLC is a determination made by applicable Maryland laws.

Life in Aberdeen

Aberdeen is a city located in Hartford County, Maryland. It has a population of around 14,000 people.

Aberdeen, Maryland is named after Aberdeen, Scotland.

Aberdeen, Maryland is home to the Aberdeen Proving Ground, which, starting in World War I, was used to by the army as a bomb-testing range. However, its use for that purpose is decreasing. A large portion of the former proving ground is being leased to commercial developers, which is expected to provide a major economic boon for the region.

The Aberdeen Proving Ground is still an active military base, despite the fact that some of it is being leased. An active military base, especially in a smaller community, is going to influence the culture of that community. Because service members from all over the country tend to be stationed on military bases, they bring their own unique character to the area where the base is located.

In addition to the obvious economic benefits that a large, constant consumer base creates, the diversity that such a facility brings in tends to have intangible benefits, as well.

The attorneys of Aberdeen, Maryland are experienced in working with a wide variety of clients, on a large number of different issues.

Whatever legal issue, you might have to deal with, it's probable that an Aberdeen, Maryland lawyer will be able to help.
