Hi,

I have a question regarding to entities section in
Regulation 4. I am having a hard time defining the
difference between LLP and LLC since they are practically
the same, i.e Filed with states, owners are not liable
for entities' obligations, can managed directly. cannot
transfer ownership with out unanimous consent, flow-
through taxation.

What are the main different characters I should know/use
to define the difference between LLP and LLC?

LLC:

requires at least 1 GP and 1 LP, usually nonservice providers

LLP:

does not require at least 1 GP, often used by service providers, each partner is liable for their own negligence but not other partners negligence

Under both LLP and LLC, all owners have limited liability
and therefore no personal liability.

Differences:

LLC can be formed with one individual only but LLP needs
at least two persons;

LLC has the characteristics of corporation whereas LLP
has the CXS of partnership

Laws vary by state, but in general LLCs can be formed by
any business or persons, while LLPs are generally
restricted to professionally licensed individuals

LLPs provide legal protection from the actions of another
partner whereas, a member in LLC does not have any
fiduciary duty to other members.

one last difference is...under LLC, we say " members"
where as under LLP, we say " partners"

No. In LLCs, all owners are called "members." They can be member-managed or manager-managed. All members have limited liability.
