Great video. As always!! Question. Isn't it better to give an owner loan instead of just contributing the money? Making the the llc owe you the money (perhaps better if the company is being sued) or when you take money out of the company, it will be a return of the loan plus interest- so you pay tax only on the income which is the interest. Isnt it?
The loan is more paperwork and to perfect the protection you need to file a security document against the assets of the LLC otherwise you are not protected.
The example you gave was for a business sale (very clear). When the accounting books are closed annually is net income distributed to the partners according to the contribution Ratio or the Owner ratio?
Hey great video. Thanks for making it. I have 2 questions. 1. How is an LLC taxed for member contributions? (If it is) 2. Why is it necessary to document member contributions if you're a single member LLC opting to be taxed as a C Corp? (Also is what you said true if you elect to be taxed as an S Corp as well?)
The LLC is not taxed on member contributions (with some exceptions to investment partnerships). You document the amounts so you know your tax basis in the company. If it is a disregarded LLC then this is not as important.
If you want to account for sweat equity, it’s essential to address this in your LLC operating agreement to avoid any confusion or disputes down the line. Sweat equity refers to the value of the work, time, and effort one partner puts into the business, rather than contributing direct capital. For example, we could set up an LLC with a profit-sharing arrangement of 50/50, where I contribute all the capital, and you contribute your expertise, labor, or project management skills. This type of structure is quite common, especially in flipping scenarios, where one partner takes on the responsibility of managing and running the project, while the other partner provides the necessary funding to make it happen. Defining these roles and contributions clearly in the agreement helps ensure that both partners are fairly compensated for their input.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I understand about it being taken into account for the profit sharing percentages. I'm just unsure of how to handle it for division of assets in the event of business closure. It seems to get even more complicated, for both situations, when taking on an additional partner after the business has already been running for some time. But, I thank you again.
You write a check to the name of your company and deposit the funds into the company account. There isn't anything special when it comes to funding your account.
Your explanations are precise and covers much of the common use-cases which is very informative for starters. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Yes it is allocated. Distributions are at the discretion of the managers.

Your math accounts for making Clint whole, but completely ignored the sweat equity Toby put in. How does he get made whole?

@@SapientEndeavours I will cut a video on this topic.
@ClintCoons I look forward to watching it. Thanks for all of the helpful information you provide.
For a husband and wife buying a rental property, do you recommend creating a single member LLC under my name or a multimember with my husband?
Depends on wether you want to buy multiple properties and use financing. Might be better to place under one name so you can qualify for more loans.
How do I fund my business bank account c corp with my personal money 💰
You write a check to the name of your company and deposit the funds into the company account. There isn't anything special when it comes to funding your account.
Sounds like a rip off im not sure. 5k person just made 10 fold vs other guy who made on 25%
Toby did the work
