Limited liability corporations, usually called LLCs, are an attractive option for business owners. This is mostly because they protect the business owner from personal liability for the business.
Historically LLCs have been an attractive financial option for established Baby Boomers who have personal assets they want to protect. In more recent years, Gen X and Millennials are exploring entrepreneurial partnerships.
GenX holds 38.4% of national student loan debt and 14.8 million millennials are paying off student loans. Their total debt is over $1.1 billion dollars. In these situations, an LLC structure prevents a partner with high student loan debt from threatening the stability of the new business.
