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

This Agreement evidences terms on which Pledgor grants to Lender a security interest in and to the Pledged Membership Interests.

LLC MembersThe membership interest is not based on the number of shares a person owns; instead, a person invests money or property into the business and receives an ownership interest based on the amount of his investment.

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.

Under most circumstances, an LLC interest is a general intangible, and the lender will perfect its security interest by filing an initial UCC financing statement in the state where the pledgor is located, which for an individual pledgor is the state of his/her principal residence and for a registered organization

With LLCs, members own membership interests (sometimes called limited liability company interests) in the Company which are not naturally broken down into units of measure. You simply own a membership interest in the Company and part of your agreement with the other members is to describe what and how much you own.

Subtract the company's debts and add the amount of any cash reserves. Multiply this result by a factor mutually agreed upon by the members to get the estimated value of the company. This may vary based on the industry and the company's stability.

As a result, lenders desiring to secure their loans with an equity pledge (typically either in the borrower itself or its subsidiaries) are increasingly taking pledges of LLC membership interests as part of their collateral.

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.

Selling a percentage of your LLC to a new member requires you to update the company's operating agreement, adding the new member to the list of existing members and changing the relevant ownership percentages. A capital account should be created for the new member in the company's accounting system.
