Counselors: RSA 304-C:21, I lets a limited liability company be organized 'for any lawful purpose' (banking, railroads, insurance-type contracts and trust or surety business excepted). RSA 304-D:2 limits what a professional LLC may do but does not require licensees to use one, and RSA 304-D:5, II preserves practice by a licensee in an individual capacity. RSA 304-D:1, VI and RSA 294-A:1, VI define 'professional service' to include psychologists and all other professionals 'authorized and permitted to practice independently' under RSA 329-B or RSA 330-A, so a professional LLC (RSA 304-D) or professional corporation (RSA 294-A) is also available. A licensed clinical mental health counselor (RSA 330-A:19) is licensed under RSA 330-A by the Board of Mental Health Practice; neither RSA 330-A nor the board's rules (Mhp 100 to 500) nor the OPLC rules (Plc) require a professional entity or bar an ordinary LLC. PLLC members must be authorized to render the service the company is formed for (RSA 304-D:7, I), and the name must end with 'Professional Limited Liability Company' or 'P.L.L.C.' (RSA 304-D:6).
Marriage and family therapists: RSA 304-C:21, I lets a limited liability company be organized 'for any lawful purpose' (banking, railroads, insurance-type contracts and trust or surety business excepted). RSA 304-D:2 limits what a professional LLC may do but does not require licensees to use one, and RSA 304-D:5, II preserves practice by a licensee in an individual capacity. RSA 304-D:1, VI and RSA 294-A:1, VI define 'professional service' to include psychologists and all other professionals 'authorized and permitted to practice independently' under RSA 329-B or RSA 330-A, so a professional LLC (RSA 304-D) or professional corporation (RSA 294-A) is also available. A licensed marriage and family therapist (RSA 330-A:21) is licensed under RSA 330-A by the Board of Mental Health Practice; neither RSA 330-A nor the board's rules (Mhp 100 to 500) nor the OPLC rules (Plc) require a professional entity or bar an ordinary LLC. PLLC members must be authorized to render the service the company is formed for (RSA 304-D:7, I), and the name must end with 'Professional Limited Liability Company' or 'P.L.L.C.' (RSA 304-D:6).
Social workers: RSA 304-C:21, I lets a limited liability company be organized 'for any lawful purpose' (banking, railroads, insurance-type contracts and trust or surety business excepted). RSA 304-D:2 limits what a professional LLC may do but does not require licensees to use one, and RSA 304-D:5, II preserves practice by a licensee in an individual capacity. RSA 304-D:1, VI and RSA 294-A:1, VI define 'professional service' to include psychologists and all other professionals 'authorized and permitted to practice independently' under RSA 329-B or RSA 330-A, so a professional LLC (RSA 304-D) or professional corporation (RSA 294-A) is also available. A licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW, RSA 330-A:18) is licensed under RSA 330-A by the Board of Mental Health Practice; neither RSA 330-A nor the board's rules (Mhp 100 to 500) nor the OPLC rules (Plc) require a professional entity or bar an ordinary LLC. PLLC members must be authorized to render the service the company is formed for (RSA 304-D:7, I), and the name must end with 'Professional Limited Liability Company' or 'P.L.L.C.' (RSA 304-D:6). The professional-entity definitions reach only licensees permitted to practice independently, so a licensed social worker or social work associate cannot be a PLLC or PC owner on that license alone.
Psychologists: RSA 304-C:21, I lets a limited liability company be organized 'for any lawful purpose' (banking, railroads, insurance-type contracts and trust or surety business excepted). RSA 304-D:2 limits what a professional LLC may do but does not require licensees to use one, and RSA 304-D:5, II preserves practice by a licensee in an individual capacity. RSA 304-D:1, VI and RSA 294-A:1, VI define 'professional service' to include psychologists and all other professionals 'authorized and permitted to practice independently' under RSA 329-B or RSA 330-A, so a professional LLC (RSA 304-D) or professional corporation (RSA 294-A) is also available.
