Description

A Limited Liability Company ("LLC") is a separate legal entity that can conduct business just like a corporation with many of the advantages of a partnership. It is taxed as a partnership. Its owners are called members and receive income from the LLC just as a partner would. There is no tax on the LLC entity itself. The members are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the entity like partners would be. Basically, an LLC combines the tax advantages of a partnership with the limited liability feature of a corporation. Management of an LLC is vested in its members. An operating agreement is executed by the members and operates much the same way a partnership agreement operates. Profits and losses are shared according to the terms of the operating agreement. Most, if not all, major loans involve creating a lien on the property. A lien on real estate would take the form of a mortgage or a deed of trust. A lien on all other property would be covered by a security agreement. In this agreement, the borrower in a loan transaction would give a security interest in personal property in order to secure payment of his loan or credit obligation. Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code deals with secured transactions. A creditor who complies with the requirements of Article 9 can create a security interest that protects him against the debtor's default by allowing the creditor to recover by selling the goods covered by the security interest.

FAQ

Under most circumstances, an LLC interest is a general intangible, and the lender will perfect its security interest by filing an initial UCC financing statement in the state where the pledgor is located, which for an individual pledgor is the state of his/her principal residence and for a registered organization

Limited liability companies (LLCs) do not have stock, nor can they issue it. Despite this fact, LLCs may have advantages over corporations, depending on your particular business needs and goals.

A membership interest represents an investor's (called a "member") ownership stake in an LLC. A person who holds a membership interest has a profit and voting interest in the LLC (although these may be amended by contract). Ownership in an LLC can be expressed by percentage ownership interest or membership units.

Under this definition, a membership interest in an LLC is a security for California law purposes unless all of the members are actively engaged in management. Thus, interests in a manager-managed LLC where not all members are managers are securities under California law.

Under Article 9, a security interest is created by a security agreement, under which the debtor grants a security interest in the debtor's property as collateral for a loan or other obligation.

Under Division 8 of the California Commercial Code, an interest in an LLC is NOT a security unless: it is dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, its terms expressly provide that it is a security governed by this division, or. it is an investment company security.

In California, shares of an LLC in which any member is not continuously actively involved in the management of the LLC would qualify as securities.

To perfect a security interest in a filing statement, a lender must complete and file a financing statement. When there is more than one financing statement in competition, the security interests will be assigned to the financing statement in the chronological order that they are filed.

As a result, lenders desiring to secure their loans with an equity pledge (typically either in the borrower itself or its subsidiaries) are increasingly taking pledges of LLC membership interests as part of their collateral.

But because interests in these kinds of entities are not listed within the definition of a security under the Securities Act, a partnership or LLC interest will only be considered a security if it constitutes an investment contract.
