Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

LLC's are very flexible and you could accomplish it by either way, and then some.

Several ways are sufficient for what you intend and neither of them would have the Pooled members as equitable holder with power to vote: A. Create the LLC with 2 classes of memberships (very similar to preferred or varying stock rights in a C corporation and obviously spell out all the specifics) without voting power; B. Create a separate Limited Liability partnership, or another LLC with just those members having non voting rights, with a general partner who is also a member of the "holding" LLC with all controls; C. Use the main LLC with a separate Resolution for management, set the LLC up under the "check the box" provisions as a partnership type taxed entity and distribute profits any way that you set out in the LLC terms - be sure your accountant is familiar with the same as to the specific allocation provisions, and I would suggest the manager of the Main LLC or it's personnel manager (over employees) have the power of appointment and or removal of employees in the pool and subject to death, disability, etc, plus some similar language as to "vesting" of benefits that you set up. Hope this helps but you will need assistance. A good source to look at for allocations would be "Florida Limited Liability Company" Forms and Practice Manaul by Albert C. O'Neill Jr, Nelson Castellano and J. Eric Taylor.
