What Is an LLC?

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a type of U.S. business entity that helps separate your personal assets from your business obligations. It allows one or more entrepreneurs to own and manage a company with fewer formalities than a corporation, while still providing limited liability protection in many situations.

An LLC is known for flexibility: it can be owned by a single person or multiple owners (called “members”), and it can be managed by the members directly or by appointed managers. For many small, online, and service-based businesses, an LLC is a practical way to establish a legal business structure, operate under a professional company name, and create a clear boundary between personal and business activities.
