LLC is an acronym for Limited Liability Company. Its meaning is just that, a company whose owners have a little liability should something go wrong with the business, such as a lawsuit or other potential financial issues. The "limited liability" implies that the owner/investor is limited in liability to the extent of whatever they invested into the company, usually money or property.
The LLC is a combination of a standard corporation and a limited partnership, giving it unique tax and management properties. LLCs are typically used in real estate investing to hold properties, because of their flexible taxing structure in which money flows directly into the owners' accounts based on their interests in the company.
