Insuranceopedia Explains Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Limited liability companies are not subjected to the same taxes as corporations. Instead, the income LLC owners draw from the company is taxed as personal income.

Even though LLC's have limited liability and owners cannot be held individually responsible for company debt, they can still be sued. Therefore, it is wise for LLC owners to have some type of commercial insurance to avoid having to file for bankruptcy as a result of an expensive lawsuit.
