LLCs have membership interest and not shares. If you want to provide stock or shares, you will need to set-up a different type of business entity. With an LLC, you can add members or remove members. The profits would be distributed to each member. The amount of profit that each member would receive can vary. The members sign a partnership agreement. An LLC is a pass-through business entity. So, you (and other members) would report what you receive from the LLC on your personal income tax. As an LLC, you could break down the ownership interest of each person into “units.” If you’re really set on issuing stock, you could consider a corporation.Think about what you’re trying to achieve with stock. Are you looking to give it to other founders or co-founders? Are you looking to have it for the purpose of talking to investors? What you’re really wanting to do can help you determine whether you need stock or if an LLC is your best choice.To answer your question about how to set-up an LLC in Florida:1.

A2A: There have always been for-profit social businesses, and also businesses that have primarily about profit. But now we suddenly interested in noticing those who make the effort to call out their social mission.Sole Proprietorships do what the owner wants. If the owner believe that they want to accomplish some social good, they are free to do so. They can give as much or as little of their profit to social causes as they wish. And many single owner and family owned companies have been quite generous.For Profit Co-ops benefit the collective good. That good can be both social good for the community members and for profit distribution among those members.For Profit Partnerships have partnership agreements that define how profits will be used. The partners might agree that the primary goal of the business is to distribute half of the annual profits to a social cause they both support. In the absence of an agreement stating an alternative purpose, if there were a legal dispute among the partners over distribution of profits, courts might consider contributions to the social cause to be an abuse of the minority partner’s rights to their share of the profits. However, when the partnership specifically calls out such an objective, the courts might find against a partner who withheld such a contribution.For Profit LLCs have an equivalent agreement called Operating Agreements, and Corporations have the equivalent called Bylaws that serve the same purpose. They define what the objective of the business is, what it can and can’t do (by agreement of the owners - even if statute law allows otherwise). As in the partnership case they can dedicate profits for a particular social purpose, or for distribution to the members (LLCs) or shareholders (Corporations). The operating agreement of bylaws would then be used by courts in a legal dispute.Most for profit companies recognize that their reputations and success depend on the good will of their employees, the communities they live and operate in, their customers, and investors. Part of gaining and retaining that good will can be in terms of social contributions. So many companies set aside some of their earnings for charitable contributions of various sorts. Most of these allocation decisions are decided by boards and are therefore discretionary. Unless these are described in the bylaws, operating agreement or partnership agreement, there is always the risk that an unhappy shareholder, member or partner will take legal action to force redistribution of profits in a different way.Many for-profit companies have created and supported various charitable non-profit corporations promoting or opposing various social causes. These range from the free speech advocate, the First Amendment Foundation, (founded by the Florida Press Association, the Florida Society of Newspapers Editors and the Florida Association of Broadcasters ”to ensure that public commitment and progress in the areas of free speech, free press, and open government” to the controversial Chick-Fil-A Foundation founded by the (family owned) Chick-Fil-A corporationThe new “social benefit” corporations are legally formed in a way that ensures those goals are clearly defined in the founding documents.
