About the Series LLC in Delaware

The Delaware Series LLC Act provides for the creation of separate “series” within an LLC whose debts and other liabilities are enforceable against that Series alone. The Act also provides that classes or groups of members can be established, having whatever rights the LLC agreement says they have. The combination of the two provisions allows a Series to be treated in many ways as a separate LLC. Thus, the Series provisions in the Delaware LLC Act allow for the creation of separate protected “cells” within one limited liability “container” without the need to create separate entities, thus avoiding the inefficiencies associated with multiple related entities. The concept is similar in function to the segregated portfolio companies and protected cell companies designed for the mutual fund and captive insurance industries in Bermuda, Guernsey, the Cayman Islands, Mauritius and Belize.

Each Series can have its own separate business purposes. A Series can be terminated without affecting the other Series of the LLC. A Series can make distributions to its own members without regard to the financial condition of the other series.
