Pass through tax treatment provides a way to manage the profits and loses of the business easily. Another appeal of the LLC is ownership and capital structure flexibility.

There are no limitations as to who can own a LLC. Within the operating agreement, you can have different classes of owners, even owners from all over the world, without risking your pass through tax treatment. The types of entities you have in an organization, is essentially limitless, because the statutes give you a lot of flexibility on how you draw this up for your LLC operating agreement.
