Series LLC (Multiple Segregated Cells in One Filing)

One master LLC + unlimited protected sub-series — each property isolated, one annual fee.

Overview

Series LLC (available in DE, TX, IL, NV, TN, UT, IA, OK, KS, PR, DC) lets you file ONE master LLC then create unlimited internal 'series' — each with its own assets, members, and liability shield. A lawsuit against Series A can't reach Series B's assets. Massive savings vs filing 20 separate LLCs (one $300 annual filing vs $6K). Must maintain separate books per series, separate bank accounts, and clear segregation documentation. Not yet tested in every state's courts.
