Kansas . Series LLC available

Kansas Series LLC: one entity, many protected series.

Kansas statutorily authorizes the Series LLC . a master LLC that contains multiple internal series, each with its own assets, liabilities, members, and managers. Properly maintained, each series is liability-protected from the others. Common in real estate, fund management, and multi-brand operating businesses.

When a Kansas Series LLC makes sense

  • Real estate portfolios. Each property held in its own series. Liability on Property A does not reach Property B.
  • Fund management. Multiple investment vehicles under one umbrella.
  • Multi-brand businesses. Distinct brand lines isolated from each other.
  • Family wealth structures. Different beneficiaries assigned to different series.
  • Cost efficiency. One formation fee, one annual report (in most cases), many separated risk pools.

Care required to preserve series protection

A Kansas Series LLC only delivers inter-series protection if maintained correctly. Common failures collapse the structure:

  • Separate accounting + bank accounts for each series.
  • No commingling of assets, debts, or member interests.
  • Notice to creditors: contracts and signatures must identify the specific series.
  • Tax treatment: federal classification of each series is unsettled; consult a CPA.
