Good question. The Limited Liability Company (LLC), which combines the pass-through taxation of a sole proprietorship, or general partnership, with the limited liability of a corporation. - There are no federal corporate taxes imposed on the LLC as a separate entity. - LLCs provide personal liability protection for members. - There is no need to meet the requirements and formalities of a corporation to maintain the business status. - Members can draw up their own contract, allowing for flexibility in management and responsibilities. - One has greater flexibility than with a corporation in allocating income to members. Hope this helps! --- Brad

Limited liability means that if the company goes bankrupt... you don't. Sole Trader, you're responsible for the debts of the company. That means that *everything* you own would be seized if the company goes under due to debts.
