# Limited Liability Company
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure that combines the pass-through taxation of a partnership with the limited liability protection of a corporation. Members' personal assets are shielded from business debts and lawsuits, while profits flow directly to members' personal tax returns without entity-level taxation.
LLCs are the most popular business entity in the United States, accounting for over 70% of new business filings annually. They offer flexibility in management structure, profit distribution, and tax treatment that corporations cannot match.
