LLC Formation

Protect your personal assets and gain business flexibility with a Limited Liability Company. It's the most popular choice for entrepreneurs.

What is an LLC?

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a U.S. business structure that provides the liability protection of a corporation with the flexibility and pass-through taxation of a sole proprietorship.

This means your personal assets (like your home, car, and bank accounts) are protected if your business is sued or incurs debt. It's the "best of both worlds" for most new business owners.

Key Benefits of an LLC

  • Personal Asset Protection: The primary benefit. Separates your personal finances from your business liabilities.
  • Pass-Through Taxation: Avoids "double taxation." Profits pass directly to you and are reported on your personal tax return.
  • Credibility & Legitimacy: Having "LLC" after your name shows customers and partners that you are a serious, official business.
  • Flexible Management: LLCs can be managed by their owners (members) or by appointed managers, giving you operational flexibility.
  • Simpler to Run: Less formal compliance requirements and paperwork compared to a C-Corporation.

LLC FAQs

Common questions about forming a Limited Liability Company.

An Operating Agreement is an internal document that outlines the ownership and operating procedures of your LLC. It defines who the owners (members) are, how profits are distributed, how decisions are made, and what happens if a member leaves. While not required in all states, it is highly recommended.

In most states, yes. However, you must have a physical address (not a P.O. Box) in that state and be available during all business hours to receive legal mail. Using your home address makes it public record. Using a service like ours protects your privacy and ensures you never miss a critical document.

A sole proprietorship is the default "structure" for a one-person business. It offers zero liability protection, meaning you and the business are one and the same. If the business is sued, your personal assets are at risk. An LLC creates a separate legal entity, giving you crucial liability protection.
