A limited liability partnership (SR LLC) and a sole proprietorship (SP LLC) differ in several aspects, including:
Responsability:
In an SR LLC, the company’s assets and debts are separate from the personal assets and debts of the owners. In a sole proprietorship (SP LLC), the owner has unlimited liability, which means they are personally responsible for all business debts and liabilities.
Propierty
An SR LLC has multiple owners or members who are not personally liable for the company’s debts and liabilities. A sole proprietorship SP has a single owner who is responsible for all business debts and liabilities.
Management:
An SR LLC has a managing member who is responsible for the company’s daily operations. A sole proprietor (SP) is the sole owner and makes all management decisions.
Capital Requirements:
There is no minimum capital requirement for a sole proprietorship (SP).
Startup costs:
There are no costs to start a Sole Proprietorship (SP) beyond operating expenses. An SR LLC has registration fees, which vary by state.
Taxes:
The income and expenses of a sole proprietorship (SP) are reported on the owner's personal tax return. An SR LLC can be taxed in various ways, including as an S corporation or a C corporation.
Growth:
An SR LLC can grow faster than a sole proprietorship (SP) if multiple members contribute to the daily operations.
