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.
