Often businesses get confused over the decision of having multiple businesses under one LLC. Are you currently pondering upon trying your business luck in new endeavors? If yes, then you might have the following question swirling in your mind.
So the answer to your question is YES; you can have multiple LLC under one umbrella.
Letâs start our discussion with an example, where you are the owner of travel business and incorporated as LLC. However, over time, you decide to include real estate services as well. As both the businesses belong to different areas, the question is whether the owner can operate both the businesses under a single LLC?
Although it seems natural if you want to avoid getting a separate LLC for the new business to avoid the additional costs, the good news is you can establish multiple businesses with a single LLC. This practice is known as âFictitious Name Statementâ or âDBA,â where the owner can run multiple businesses under a single LLC but with different names.
Though it is permissible, you should not opt for that option as there are various drawbacks associated with it.
For instance, in case of any litigation or lawsuit filed against one business, the assets or other business resources will also be at stake. It means if one block in the entire LLC is held liable, the LLC will be too.
Most owners opt to have a separate LLC for each business venture to mitigate the risk. Moreover, additional fees and costs are associated with it, including the maintenance cost, etc. however, it offers a shield against the liabilities and litigations related to other businesses.
Most of the businesses opt for series LLC to operate multiple companies. The series LLC is a cost-effective solution, including the annual tax payment and annual registered agent fee. However, it is quite a new structure for business operations and thus involves various hurdles.
So what is the ultimate solution?
The solution is to create separate LLCs for each business venture!
So no matter what growth orientation you are considering to adopt, consider doing it under an independent LLCâhaving individual LLCs ensure that debts, assets, and liabilities are separated and can never impact each other.
How about creating a hierarchy blueprint to understand the relationship between different LLCs. In this chart, the parent LLC takes the top position, the name âABC holding company**.â** And then, the siblings will be created with different names and LLCs.
In this manner, all the companies have the same parent or holding company. They can have similar assets, liabilities, ownership interests, and structures, but they are protected, guarded, and shielded from each other.
