There are some misconceptions about LLC. A Limited Liability Corporation features both structures of partnership and corporation; however, it is not a partnership or a corporation by nature. Since the entity is owned by more than one person, they are called as “members” and can’t be considered as “shareholders”.

In some states the forming of an LLC is being advertised in a newspaper, so better ask your state for other information for the approval of your application.
