What is a professional LLC?
A professional limited liability company (PLLC) is a type of LLC available in certain states for licensed professionals, such as doctors, attorneys, accountants, or other regulated professionals. Like a traditional LLC, it can provide limited liability protection and flexible management, but ownership and professional licensing requirements vary by state and profession. Swyft Filings notes that LLC formation rules and requirements are state-specific. Swyft Filings offers LLC formation services that include preparation and filing of formation documents, a name availability check, and specialist review for accuracy. Because PLLC requirements vary, licensed professionals should confirm whether their state requires or permits a PLLC for their profession.
Swyft Filings offers nonprofit formation services and also provides a separate 501(c)(3) application service for qualifying organizations seeking federal tax-exempt recognition. These are distinct steps: state nonprofit formation creates the legal entity, while federal tax-exempt recognition is determined separately under IRS requirements.
Nonprofits may also need an EIN, bylaws, directors, conflict-of-interest procedures, state charitable registrations, initial or annual reports, and other filings depending on their activities and location. Specialized structures such as professional entities, series LLCs, and benefit corporations have additional state-specific rules and are not universally available.
