For business owners, the main reason why you should form a LLC is because of “Pass Through” of profits and losses.

This means that, by default, LLC’s do NOT pay taxes. All income and losses pass-through to YOU as a member.
If you have losses in your LLC, you can claim it against your personal income on your individual 1040.

The creditor has what’s known as a charging order remedy.

Which means if the creditor gets a judgment against a member of the LLC, the creditor is ONLY allowed to collect any actual cash distributions that are made by the company to the member.
If NO distributions are made to the member, there is ZILCH to collect
