Members & Managers


LLC's are owned by its "members." This is roughly the equivalent of shareholders in a corporation.

How many initial Members (owners) will there be?    *

With regards to day-to-day management of the business, members (owners) are typically responsible for managing the business. This is known as a "member-managed" LLC. If they wish, the members may create an additional "layer" of decision-making by appointing "managers:" one or more members or non-members to manage the LLC. This is known as a "manager-managed" LLC.

Typically, smaller LLC's are member-managed: that is, they do not appoint an additional layer of "managers."

Your LLC will be managed by: (choose one) * required

All the limited liability company Members ("Member-managed")
One Manager
More than one Manager

Taxation of the LLC

For Federal Tax Purposes: By default, a domestic LLC with only one member is "disregarded" as an entity separate from its owner and must include all of its income and expenses on the owner's tax return. A domestic LLC with two or more members is treated as a partnership, which also has "pass-through" taxation treatment.

Under certain circumstances, a domestic LLC may choose to avoid either default classification and elect to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation.
How does the LLC wish to be taxed? (* required)

Standard LLC pass through taxation (taxed as a partnership/disregarded entity)
