What is a Limited Liability Company (LLC)?

Created by Matt Copenhaver, Modified on Wed, 4 Oct, 2023 at 3:41 PM by Matt Copenhaver

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the simplest form of company in the United States.  


While most businesses are companies (or corporations), not all companies are businesses.  LLC’s are commonly used for non-business purposes, such as holding an asset, such a piece of real estate - or a vehicle.


Unlike corporations, LLC’s do not need to elect a board of directors, adopt bylaws, hold annual meetings, or create formal financial statements.
