A Series LLC is exactly one LLC. By the laws, it is a LLC containing separate units that operate independently from the other units. Each unit works individually and is isolated from the liability exposure of the different units of the same SLLC.
From the viewpoint of the LLC owners, they can own and modify multiple units under the umbrella of one LLC, each unit has different assets, different members, and thus differnt risk portfolios. SLLC can give the convenience and confidentiality of the effort of forming one LLC. For example, the renewal of only one “master” LLC is needed rather than that of individual units.
