Moving Ahead With Your Illinois LLC
* Getting Personal Asset "Buffer". Foremost amongst the protections offered by your Illinois LLC is the statutory separation of your members' personal assets (bank deposits, auto, securities, real property) from the future liabilities of your company. You legally shield your assets from creditors which might seek to satisfy a court judgment against your Illinois LLC by attaching or liquidating available assets. In this event, your Illinois LLC members are only liable for their invested capital. See Illinois Secretary of State.
* Highly Flexible Ownership Structure. Unlike a Subchapter S corporation which is limited to 75 shareholders, your Illinois LLC can complete private placement financing arrangements with an unlimited number of investor-members (which can include persons, trusts, pensions or even other LLC corporation entities). With your capitalization initially completed and with some initial financial operating data, you can now approach lenders or other interested firms for credit facilities appropriate to your business, just like any standard corporation does.
* Ease Of Operation - Corporate Governance. Corporate governance flexibility is another key advantage for your Illinois LLC. Whereas the C Corporation must schedule annual meetings and produce written meeting minutes, your Illinois LLC operates without such requirements, unless expressly provisioned within your LLC operating agreement with your members.
* Better Controls Over Dividend Policy. Your operating flexibility continues to the important area of dividend policy, where your Illinois LLC can declare dividend based on your LLC operating agreement provisions rather than be committed by statute to the dollar-per-share rule governing standard corporations.
* Unique Tax Benefits. Tax and financial accounting flexibility are also hallmarks of your Illinois limited liability company. According to state and federal law, your Illinois LLC qualifies corporately as a tax exempt entity, with tax liability resting entirely on individual members rather than your Illinois LLC. In developing your Illinois LLC net profit position, you qualify for deducting qualifying operating costs and expenses, along with depreciating assets of your Illinois LLC according to state and federal depreciation schedules.
* All States' Recognition For Your Firm. Your Illinois LLC corporate structure is recognized by all fifty states as a valid legal form of organization which, by the way, also qualifies you to enter the strong and pro-business Illinois market place.
