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.
Security: An LLC, however, can elect to have its membership interests classified as securities under Article 8 of the UCC. Generally, the organizational documents must expressly state that the membership interests are to be treated as securities.
Perfection. Although an interest in an LLC is typically a general intangible, it is a security governed by UCC Article 8 if it is traded on a securities exchange or its terms expressly so provide.
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.
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.
Although an LLC membership interest is not expressly recognized in the statute, such an interest will constitute a security if the character of the interest conforms to the statutory phrase investment contract.
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.
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.
If the membership interests are securities, then you perfect by taking possession or control of the securities or both. If the membership interests are certificated, then you perfect by taking possession of the certificates and by taking control by having the security interest noted in the company's records.
