In
this business structure, the company has limited liability formation, which
means that company members are not liable on personal level for any of the
liabilities or debts of the company. There is no upper limit to have various
members for the company and in such business formation, the members make
participation in every aspect of the business, but still they enjoy the luxury
of limited liability on their shoulders. This structure is hybrid in nature
taking some aspects from corporation as well as partnership business
formations. The first benefit of the LLC is flexibility of taxes along with
having less paperwork to form the legal requirements of the company. The
members are protected from any kind of liability on behalf of the company,
which is a plus for the members. However, the negative part of LLC is that each
member of the company will have to pay taxes on their own profits, and company
will not pay any corporate taxes. Moreover, there can be confusion about the jurisdiction
of the members along with set rules (Martinez, 2018). IBM & Sony are one of the major
examples of a limited liability company.
