A PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company) is for licensed professionals and must comply with state licensing board regulations. All members must hold professional licenses. A regular LLC can be formed by anyone for any lawful business purpose. PLLCs provide liability protection for business debts but not for professional malpractice.
Both offer similar liability protection. PLLCs generally have more flexible management and simpler compliance requirements than PCs. PLLCs offer pass-through taxation by default, while PCs can choose between C-Corp or S-Corp taxation. Your choice may depend on your state's requirements and your tax situation - we'll help you decide.
