As a business owner, selecting the appropriate structure for your venture is highly important. This choice impacts everything from your personal liability to how you pay taxes and even the way you raise capital.
Among the various options — from the simplicity of a sole proprietorship to the more complex C corporation — lies the increasingly popular limited liability company (LLC).
The LLC, a hybrid entity, offers a unique blend of flexibility and protection. It stands out for its ability to combine the operational ease of a sole proprietorship or general partnership with the liability protection typically associated with corporations.
The limited liability company (LLC) entity type provides many advantages—like reducing the owners’ personal liability, and providing flexibility in tax classification and management structure.
Once you’ve established LLC status, you’ll need to comply with ongoing LLC compliance requirements to maintain LLC protections and avoid any penalties against your business. In most states, this includes filing an LLC annual report.
What is an LLC annual report? An LLC annual report is a brief overview of key facts about a limited liability company (LLC). It typically includes business contact information, contact information for owners (called “members” of the LLC), and a record of any major activities (such as change in ownership, business purpose, or location) during a given reporting period.
