oklahoma series limited liability company

The Oklahoma series LLC is not only for real estate but also for . . .

Bernard Spragg. NZ

You probably know that an Oklahoma series limited liability company provides excellent protection for owning multiple tracts of real properties (think rental homes).

But did you know that the Oklahoma series limited liability company may very well work with other non-real property assets and forms of doing business such as:

◊High value medical & business equipment.

For example, a doctor or dentist who owns medical imaging equipment valued six figures, where such equipment can (in remote scenarios) generate substantial liability. Think diagnostic imaging where the machine doesn’t deliver a reliable image . . .

◊Separate divisions of a company

A business owner might use an Oklahoma series LLC to segment a large business in separate departments or divisions. In this context, the terms “department” or “division” don’t have a particular legal meaning but rather describe business segments.

◊Separate product lines offered by a company

You can create a department (or a division – they mean similar things and are sometimes used interchangeably) without filing or drafting any legal agreement at all. However, some companies appreciate the formal separation that accompanies separate series. You can do the same thing for product lines, employee teams, projects, business locations, and other business components.

◊Equity Compensation Program within a business

As a spinoff of the separate product lines topic about, this use might work in a business with multiple divisions. With each division segregated into a separate series, the LLC can give the key employees of each series some sort of equity interest tied to that series only rather than equity interests in the entity as a whole. This rewards employees in productive divisions and protects them from the potential downside of other divisions.


The Oklahoma law series LLC law allows real property and other assets to be owned by a series. This means that the possible series LLC uses listed above are but a few items. I touched on this topic briefly in this post on the practical uses of an Oklahoma series limited liability company.

. . . . . .  By the way, in listing these potential additional uses for an Oklahoma series LLC I am not endorsing any use as the correct use for you or your property. Before you implement a series LLC, take the time to talk with an attorney to discuss the plusses and minuses based on your specific set of circumstances.
