An L3C (Low-profit Limited Liability Company) is a legal form of business entity created to bridge the gap between non-profit and for profit investing by providing a structure that allows for investments in philanthropic ventures designed to provide a social benefit. Unlike a standard LLC, an L3C has an explicit primary charitable mission and only a secondary profit concern. But unlike a charity, the L3C is free to distribute the profits, after taxes, to owners and investors.
A primary benefit of an L3C is the qualification of the company as a program related investment (PRI), thus allowing for investments by foundations that otherwise may not have been allowed (as a for-profit). An L3C also virtually eliminates legal fees and organizational costs associated with PRIs because it has been designated as a defined entity under Michigan law. However, the L3C as an official legal structure is not available in all states.
