Where arethe MarshallIslands?
The Marshall Islands are located nearly midway between Indonesia and Hawaii, and are the easternmost island group in Micronesia.
The Marshall Islands were under the control of Spain from 1500 to the late 1800’s, Germany from 1885 to World War I, and Japan from 1917 to 1944. After World War II, the Marshall Islands became a United Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands under United States of America administration.
The Republic gained its independence in 1986, after signing the Compact of Free Association with the USA. It then became a full member of the United Nations in 1991 and has established diplomatic relations with the world’s major maritime and industrial nations.
What is aLLC?
It is a Limited Liability Company (LLC). An LLC combines the best traits of an IBC (International Business Company) and a partnership. Like shareholders in a corporation, the members of a LLC are protected from personal liability in excess of their capital investment. Like the partners in a partnership, members can flexibly allocate gains and losses. Flexible management makes the LLC an excellent vehicle for transactions requiring a considerable degree of passive investment, such as venture capital projects, investment in real estate, oil, or technology, as well as research and development of business. In addition, the LLC may be conveniently employed in the types of parent-subsidiary arrangements inherent to large corporations because either an individual or an entity may be a member.
Members are not required to participate in the management of the entity; instead, they may designate “managers” to manage the affairs of the LLC. However, even if members elect to be actively involved in managing the LLC, they still retain their limited liability.
LLCs are registered and governed pursuant to the RMI Limited Liability Company Act.

- The Procter & Gamble (P&G) company: surely you have consumed one of their product already.
