Series LLC Benefits

A Series LLC has many benefits in addition to the benefits of a regular LLC

Segmented Liabilities

A Series LLC has the ability to partition the LLC into separate “protected series” between which a liability shield exists.

Asset Protection

Each protected series insulates the assets it holds from the liabilities of the the LLC and the other protected series.

Less Expensive

The cost to create, maintain, and terminate each protected series is much less than the cost to form another LLC.

Efficient

A Series LLC and its series are treated as one entity, requiring only ONE filing fee, bank account, registered agent, and annual report.

Unlimited Series

There is no limit to the number of protected series that you can create within a single Texas Series LLC.

Substitute for Multiple LLCs

Because each individual series functions like a separate LLC, a Series LLC is an effective alternative to forming multiple LLCs.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Series LLC is a type of LLC that has the unique ability to create separate and distinct cells (also known as "protected series") within the framework of a single LLC.

Each protected series resembles an independent LLC because they: (1) can do almost anything an LLC can do and (2) insulates the protected series' assets from the liabilities of the Series LLC and the other protected series. The Series LLC provides a framework that allows the members of the Series LLC to keep multiple assets/businesses separate while still operating under the umbrella of a single LLC. For this reason, a Series LLC is often used as an alternative to a multiple LLC structure.

The primary benefit of a Series LLC is the ability to silo or segment liabilities by using multiple protected series while only forming and maintaining a single state-registered entity (the Series LLC).

In addition to all of the benefits of a traditional LLC, a Series LLC has the following advantages: (1) it can protect multiple assets better than a single traditional LLC (as each protected series insulates the asset(s) it owns from the liabilities of the LLC and the other protected series), and (2) it is a single entity (LLC) and therefore only requires the filing of one Certificate of Formation with the Texas Secretary of State (and one filing fee), one bank account, one bookkeeping account, etc.

A Series LLC can be used, for example, by a real estate investor who owns multiple properties. Each property would be held by a separate protected series. If property 1 is owned by protected series 1 and a tenant in property 1 files a slip and fall lawsuit, the proper defendant would be protected series 1. If a judgment is rendered in favor of the tenant and remains unpaid, the injured tenant/judgment holder would be able to seize only the assets of protected series 1 (i.e., property 1). Therefore, the remaining assets of the Series LLC and the other protected series are protected.

Our Series LLC formation service includes everything you'll need to create a Texas Series LLC, including (a) 15-minute attorney consultation; (b) a preliminary name check to make sure the SOS will approve the Series LLC name; (c) preparation of the Certificate of Formation and filing with the Secretary of State; (d) custom Company Agreement; (e) Organizational Meeting; (f) Membership Transfer Ledger; and (g) a 10-page instructional/guidance letter that includes all kinds of good information on using the Series LLC. For an additional $75, we can get the Series LLC's federal tax ID (aka EIN) too.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

What our clients are saying

Risk vs. Reward

Using (or not using) an LLC has ramifications.

Risks

No asset protection

Without an LLC, your personal creditors can seize your assets, including the assets used in your business.

Personal liability

Without an LLC (or other limited liability entity), there is no legal separation between you and your business. As such, you ARE personally liable for the business's debts and legal actions taken against the business.

Rewards

Asset protection

The real estate and other assets owned by an LLC are insulated from your personal creditors.

Limited liability

With an LLC, there is legal separation between your business and your personal assets. You're NOT personally liable for the business's debts or legal actions taken against the business.
