Overview of Limited Liability Companies: An LLC is one of several different legal entities you can create in Washington, and among the most important features is separating the company from the individual interests of its members. If the limited liability company runs into legal challenges or financial difficulties, the assets of stakeholders cannot be touched. In addition:
- Though similar to a corporation for offering limited liability, an LLC is easier to operate. There are fewer regulations and requirements, such as holding an annual shareholder meeting and voting for a board of directors.
- There are no limitations on the number of members of an LLC, and even another business entity can be an owner.
- Limited liability companies are pass-through entities for purposes of taxes, so the entity is not taxed on income. Members pay taxes according to their respective ownership interest on income earned by the LLC.
