CATHOLIC HEART WORKCAMP IS A LIMITED LIABILITY CORPORATION.  WHAT IS THAT?   Catholic HEART Workcamp is a LLC (Limited Liability Corporation). A limited liability company, commonly called an "LLC," is a business structure that fits somewhere between the partnership/sole proprietorship and the corporation. Like owners of partnerships or sole proprietorships, LLC owners report business profits or losses on their personal income tax returns; the LLC itself is not a separate taxable entity. Like a corporation, LLC owners are protected from personal liability for business debts and claims -- a feature known as "limited liability." This means that if the business owes money or faces a lawsuit for some other reason, only the assets of the business itself are at risk. Creditors normally can't reach the personal assets of the LLC owners, such as a house or car. (Both LLC owners and corporate shareholders can lose this protection by acting illegally, unethically or irresponsibly).   LLC combines the best features of both the partnership and corporate business structures. A limited liability company (LLC) combines attributes of both corporations and partnerships (or, for one-person LLCs, sole proprietorships): the corporation's protection from personal liability for business debts and the pass-through tax structure of partnerships and sole proprietorships. Running an LLC is significantly easier than running a corporation. For more information go to: http://www.nolo.com/lawcenter/ency/index.cfm/catID/19B45DBF-E85F-4A3D-950E3E07E32851A7  Back to F.A.Q's
