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

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.

Unless the operating agreement (or articles of organization) provides otherwise, a member may assign or transfer financial rights that comprise the transferable interest. Such a transfer gives the transferee all the rights to profits and distributions previously held by the transferor.

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.

Rather than issuing stock options like you would in a corporation, in an LLC you hold membership interests. If you're the sole member of an LLC, you retain 100% equity. However, if you're part of a multiple-member LLC, equity is distributed among members based on the terms of your operating agreement.

The members of an LLC can decide how to operate the various aspects of the business by forming an operating agreement. An operating agreement is not required for an LLC to exist, and if there is one, it need not be in writing. LLC members should protect their interests by creating a written operating agreement.

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.

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.

The assignment of interest is typically different from selling the ownership stake. Selling a member's ownership stake in the LLC requires unanimous approval by the other members. A departing member may also assign his membership to another member.

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.
