They are authorized to issue an Interweave Solutions International MBS certificate to their participants when they meet Interweave Solutions standards.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUSINESS NAME (ENTERPRISE) AND COMPANY (LLC)
The terms "Business Name" (also referred to as Enterprise or Venture) and "Company" (specifically, Limited Liability Company) are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings and implications. Understanding the differences between these two concepts is crucial for entrepreneurs, business owners, and legal professionals.
Business Name (Enterprise or Venture):
A business name, enterprise, or venture refers to the name under which a business operates. It's the identity that a business uses to present itself to the public, customers, and clients. A business name can be a sole proprietorship, partnership, or any other legal structure. It's a trading name that may or may not be registered with the relevant authorities.
Characteristics:
- No separate legal entity
- No liability protection
- Owner(s) have unlimited personal liability
- Taxed as part of the owner's personal income
- Easy and inexpensive to establish
- Minimal legal and regulatory compliance
Company (Limited Liability Company):
A company, specifically a Limited Liability Company (LLC), is a separate legal entity from its owners (shareholders). It's a legal structure that provides liability protection, tax benefits, and perpetual succession. An LLC is a distinct entity from its owners, with its own rights, privileges, and liabilities.
Characteristics:
- Separate legal entity
- Liability protection for owners (shareholders)
- Limited personal liability for owners
- Taxed as a separate entity (corporate tax rate)
- More complex and expensive to establish
- Subject to legal and regulatory compliance requirements
Key differences:
- Legal Status: A business name is not a separate legal entity, while a company (LLC) is.
- Liability Protection: A business name offers no liability protection, whereas a company provides limited liability protection for its owners.
- Taxation: A business name is taxed as part of the owner's personal income, while a company is taxed as a separate entity.
- Formalities: A business name has minimal legal and regulatory compliance requirements, whereas a company is subject to more stringent compliance requirements.
In conclusion, a business name (enterprise or venture) refers to the trading name of a business, while a company (Limited Liability Company) is a separate legal entity that provides liability protection and tax benefits. Understanding the distinctions between these two concepts is essential for entrepreneurs and business owners to make informed decisions about their business structure and legal status.
