  Limited Liability Company
Management of an LLC may be vested either in the members or in certain designated "managers." Managers do not have to be members of the LLC, and even corporations may serve as managers.
LLCs, however, cannot be used by professionals, or in situations when a regular "C" corporation would take advantage of the corporate reorganization tax provisions or the ability to have separate classes of stock.
Also, an LLC is excellent as an estate planning vehicle for investments between an individual and his or her family corporation, trust or partnership.

 Limited Liability Company - how and whether to set up an LLC and if a Limited Liability Company is for you
"LLC" stands for Limited Liability Company, is the newest type of legal entity that exists in the United States, and for many entrepreneurs it is the ideal marriage between the tax advantages of the limited partnership and the limited liability feature of the corporation.
The LLC is like a limited partnership (and an S-corporation), because it is a "pass-through entity"--each partner's or member's share of the net gain or loss for the year "flows through" to the individual tax-payer's 1040 individual tax return.
On the other hand, the LLC is also like a corporation, because unlike the limited partnership--which requires a general partner, who is responsible for all results of all decisions and actions of the partners--all its owners benefit from limited liability.
