FAQ
Owners of an LLC are called members. Most states do not restrict ownership, so members may include individuals, corporations, other LLCs and foreign entities. There is no maximum number of members. Most states also permit “single-member” LLCs, those having only one owner.
Cook Islands LLC's have several benefits: Annual filing of accounts is not required. Information on members and managers are kept private. Foreign creditors are limited in their capacity and foreign court orders are not recognized in the Cook Islands. Members and mangers cannot be held liable for the debits of the LLC.
If you open an LLC in California, the state will also require you to submit an "Application for Change in Ownership" form. You can find this form on the California Secretary of State website under Corporations Forms, or you can consult your lawyer.
Once you (and the other LLC Members, if applicable) sign the Operating Agreement, then it becomes a legal document. Can I write my own Operating Agreement? Yes, but we recommend using an Operating Agreement template. An Operating Agreement is a legal document.
By default, LLC profits are split ing to ownership percentage—if you own 50% of the LLC, you get 50% of the profits. However, you can override your state's default requirements for splitting LLC profits by making another arrangement in your operating agreement.
LLC Ownership Percentage In most LLCs, ownership matches the amount of capital each member contributes to the LLC. For example, let's say that three business partners team up to create an LLC. One member contributes $50,000, and the other two contribute $25,000 a piece to help get the business up and running.
In conclusion, it is possible to be a member of an LLC without ownership. This can occur in various situations, including non-owner members, manager-managed LLCs, passive members, and special purpose entities.
LLCs have the luxury of flexibility, so ultimately LLC ownership is defined by the LLC's operating agreement (much like a constitution or charter). (For more information, please see our operating agreement definition page.)
