What Is a Jamaican Limited Liability Company (LLC)?
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a registered business structure that separates your personal assets from your business activities. Think of it as giving your business its own legal identity — it can own property, enter contracts, and be sued without putting your personal assets (like your car or house) at risk.
It’s a flexible hybrid between a sole proprietorship and a corporation, offering protection, credibility, and operational freedom.
Why Register an LLC with
SGH Core?
Choosing an LLC comes with key advantages for business owners ready to grow and legitimize their brand:
✅ Personal Asset Protection – Your home, car, and savings are shielded from business debts or lawsuits.
✅ Increased Credibility – “XYZ Ltd.” stands stronger and more professional than “John Brown Enterprises.”
✅ Easier Access to Funding – Banks and investors trust registered entities over informal setups.
✅ Tax Flexibility – LLCs can be taxed as a sole trader, partnership, or corporation depending on what suits your business best.
✅ Business Continuity – Your business can continue even if ownership changes.
✅ Brand Confidence – Registration adds trust and legitimacy when working with clients, suppliers, and partners.
When Is an LLC the Right Choice?
An LLC is ideal for you if:
-
You’re providing services with liability risks (e.g., beauty, marketing, design, or retail).
-
You plan to scale or add business partners.
-
You want to position your brand as credible and investment-ready.
You may not need an LLC yet if:
-
You’re operating a low-risk side hustle or hobby.
-
You’re testing an idea with minimal financial transactions.
Even so — SGH Core can help you start simple and scale when you’re ready.
