Legal Question in Business Law in New York
Can a parent LLC own other subsidiaries that are LLCs? and is there any benefit or disadvantage of this?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Generally speaking, an LLC can own other LLCs.
The benefits depend on the business reason for having separate subsidiaries instead of one company but could include another layer of limited liability and many business efficiencies that can be created with such a structure. Disadvantages could include the additional costs of setting up and running separate companies. However, if there is a good business reason for having multiple subsidiaries then the additional costs would be relatively insignificant.

I agree that a LLC can have subsidiaries and that it may be appropriate in some instances, but it might also expose all joined entities in any potential liability claims. In such possibilities, separate, unrelated LLCs might be best.
