The primary advantage of an LLC is limiting the liability of its Members. Unless they personally guarantee them, the Members are not liable for the LLC’s debts and obligations. An LLC is a powerful entity to protect assets from the threat of lawsuits and claims. It is a relatively new business structure that is increasingly popular with small companies. It offers the liability protection of a corporation, and the flexibility and tax advantages of a partnership. In an LLC, income passes through to the owners, instead of being taxed separately. Rules for running an LLC are less rigid than those for a corporation. LLCs allow a business to have the limited personal liability of a corporation as provided by state law, while being treated as a partnership for purposes of federal tax laws. Most states allow LLCs to be formed with one or more Members. The IRS has "check the box" Regulations that default to taxation as a partnership. The tax form used is Form 1065. Members may not get paid a "salary" or "wages". If you are looking for more useful information, please feel free to visit the Delaware LLC benefits section of the Coddan CPM Ltd main website.   According to the requirements of the Delaware Corporation Act, every corporation or limited liability company shall have and maintain in the state of incorporation a registered office which may, but need not be, the same as its place of business. Coddan offers registered agent and compliance services in all 50 states! Choosing a competent resident agent is vital and required for incorporation. The responsibility of a resident agent is to accept service of legal documents served upon that entity or corporation.
The resident agent must be a resident of the company's state of incorporation and the resident agent address must be a physical address within the state of incorporation. Our fees for serving as registered agent vary with the state or international jurisdiction.
The Delaware registered agent's name and address are included in the Articles of Incorporation and this information is a matter of public record. The primary duties of the registered agent are to provide a registered office of the corporation or LLC where legal papers and mail can be served or delivered. The registered agent is the local contact for the Secretary of State to get in touch with a Delaware corporation.

 What is a Limited Liability Company? Definition of an LLC. an LLC is a creation of statute; an LLC can be formed and exist as a matter of law only if a state statute enables the creation of LLCs. The LLC will be classified as a partnership and not subject to corporate income tax for both federal and state income tax purposes. It may acquire and hold property in the name of the LLC rather than in the names of the Members. An LLC can sue or be sued in its own name.
Is a Limited Liability Company better than a Corporation? The answer to this question varies on a case-by-case basis. Which business entity is best for you depends upon your situation and your goals. Both LLCs and corporations provide the "protection" discussed in the previous question. An LLC is generally taxed as a partnership or sole proprietorship. Therefore, while an LLC does not have to worry about the "double taxation" that may be applicable to corporations, Members of an LLC must pay self-employment tax.
How is the formation of an LLC different than a Corporation? With an LLC, Articles of Organisation are filed with the state rather than Articles of Incorporation. Also, instead of by-laws, LLCs generally utilise an Operating or Management Agreement to set forth the details on how the organisation is to be managed.
Among the other advantages of the US limited liability company, we can mention liability protection for the company’s Members, and anonymity because, for the formation of the company in most of the US states, you do not need to list the names of the Members or managers in the incorporation documents which go to State Department for filing.
