            <p>The Limited Liability Company (LLC) has emerged as one of the most popular business structures in the United States due to its unique blend of corporate-style protection and partnership-style flexibility. Since its origins, the LLC has seen a significant growth trend, becoming the preferred choice for small business owners seeking to safeguard their personal assets from business-related liabilities. Understanding the fundamental concept of limited liability is crucial for any entrepreneur, as it creates a distinct legal separation between personal and business assets, ensuring that an individual's private wealth is not at risk should the company face legal or financial challenges.</p>

<p>This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the essential components required to form and govern an LLC effectively. Participants will examine the legal requirements for formation, including the role of state agencies and the importance of the Articles of Organization. Beyond the initial setup, the curriculum delves into ownership mechanics—defining the role of "members"—and the critical decision-making processes involved in selecting a management model. By comparing member-managed and manager-managed structures, learners will understand how to define duties through an Operating Agreement. Additionally, the course addresses the practical limitations of the LLC structure, such as self-employment tax implications and industry-specific restrictions, providing a well-rounded perspective on this versatile business entity.</p>
