What Is an LLC?

A Missouri Limited Liability Company or "LLC" is a type of business structure that blends various beneficial aspects of partnerships, sole proprietorships, and corporations into a comprehensive and flexible type of business framework that is used and preferred by many people who own and operate small businesses.

How Can Forming a Missouri Limited Liability Company Help Your Business?

  • Easy to Manage

    The structure of the LLC was created around the idea of having the freedom to contract. This implies that the owners only need to agree amongst themselves as to how the company will operate, and this agreement can be held up in court. LLCs are not required by law to maintain annual board meetings, resolutions, amendments, or meeting minutes, as are corporations. In most states, owners of corporations that fail to comply with these requirements can lose the asset and liability protection typically provided by the corporate business structure, meaning owners can be held personally responsible for the corporation's acts. However, Nevada is an exception as corporate protection can only be compromised in the case of fraud, even if the other corporate procedures are not met. Again, your company's specific situation will help determine whether an LLC or a corporation is better suited for you.

  • Tax Advantages

    While an LLC legally separates itself from its owners (as corporations do), it can choose to be regulated similarly to a partnership for tax purposes. In this scenario, the LLC will not pay any tax itself; instead, the income would be filtered through to the owners in the same way it is with partnerships. The tax regulations regarding partnerships are more flexible than corporations, which allows for more maneuverability in tax planning. Businesses can search for creative ways to maximize the tax breaks they may qualify for. Each business's situation will be different and will dictate whether an LLC or a corporation is more advantageous when it comes to taxes.

  • Ability to Raise Capital

    When a business is structured as an LLC, it is easy and straightforward to add new owners (called members) to the company, and there are no limitations as to how many members can be added. The additional members/investors can include individuals, corporations, pension plans, and trusts, which are not required to reside within the same state. In addition, an LLC or corporation can be formed by its creators in a state they may not personally reside in themselves. For example, a company could be created as an LLC or corporation in the business-friendly state of Nevada without its founders ever having been there.

  • Liability and Asset Protection

    Today's business world commonly and frequently witnesses an abundance of lawsuits, and this is why it is important to protect yourself by implanting legal safeguards between you and your creditors. As separate entities, LLCs separate businesses from their owners, therefore creating a legal barrier that defends owners against certain risks. LLC owners are not personally liable for their business's debts, even those related to a contract or tort. To a large degree, the operating agreement can allow the agreeing parties to include any procedures or rules they would like to and, once it is put into effect, it can exist as it is with no maintenance. The operating agreement's initial drafting is critical because it needs to comply with all IRS and state regulations in order for the LLC to be taxed as a partnership and not as a corporation.

  • Co-Owner Liability

    In all U.S. states, LLC owners (members) are not typically held personally liable for another co-owner's or employee's wrongdoings. Corporations also protect this type of personal liability, while partnerships and sole proprietorships do not.

    Suppose an LLC is held responsible for negligence or wrongful actions of an employee or another owner. In that case, it can have financial assets or property taken from it due to an unfavorable judgment against it. The innocent LLC members will not be held personally liable; however, the owner or employee who perpetrated the act can be held personally responsible for their actions.

Missouri LLC Frequently Asked Questions

"LLC" and "Corporation" have many of the same characteristics. The most important characteristic they share is that they both offer limited liability protection to their owners. Typically, shareholders are not liable for the debts and obligations of the corporation; thus, creditors will not come knocking at the door of a shareholder to pay the debts of the corporation. In a partnership or sole proprietorship, the owner's personal assets may be used to pay debts of the business. With an LLC, the members are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the corporation. There are many important differences between the corporation and LLC. The entities are taxed differently. An LLC is a pass-through tax entity. This means that the income to the entity is not taxed at the entity level; however, the entity does complete a tax return. The income or loss as shown on this return is "passed through" the business entity to the individual shareholders or interest holders, and is reported on their individual tax returns. With a standard corporation, the corporation is a separately taxable entity. Corporations are treated as separate legal taxable entities for income tax purposes. Therefore, corporations pay tax on their earnings. If corporate earnings are distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends, the corporation does not receive the reasonable business expense deduction, and dividend income is taxed as regular income to the shareholders. Thus, to the extent that earnings are distributed to shareholders as dividends, there is a double tax on earnings at the corporate and shareholder level.

In terms of reporting income, they are quite similar. The LLC is somewhat less restrictive than the "S" corporation. There can be any number of members, and there are few restrictions on who those members may be. They are also a relatively new entity, so there is not as great a definitive body of tax rulings on them as there is with corporations.

In most cases, the answer is no. In most states, InCorp assigns itself as the "incorporator" and is able to file all of the paperwork without an officer's signature. Some states require the officer's signatures on the Articles of Incorporation. In those cases, we will overnight the documents to you for your signature and have you return them to us, or use a facsimile signature to fulfill the requirement. In either case, you are not required to be present to form your corporation.

No. This is a common misconception among small-business owners, usually fostered by advice from an inexperienced accountant. Any seasoned advisor will tell you that incorporating is the first and foremost thing you should do when starting a business. Forming an LLC will not only save you taxes but it will also limit your exposure to IRS audits by separating your personal and business expenses.

The title of the document filed in many states to register a limited liability company (LLC) with the state. Also known as articles of formation.

Managers are the individuals who are responsible for the maintenance, administration and management of the affairs of a limited liability company (LLC). In most states, the managers serve a particular term and report to and serve at the discretion of the members. Specific duties of the managers may be detailed in the articles of organization or the operating agreement of the LLC. In some states, the members of an LLC may also serve as the managers.

The owner(s) of a limited liability company (LLC are the Members. Unless the articles of organization or operating agreement provide otherwise, management of an LLC is vested in the members in proportion to their ownership interest in the company.
