Deciding on the correct business entity can be a difficult decision to make. LLCs have rapidly become the preeminent entity of choice among small and midsize businesses. Forming your business as an LLC will give you the flexibility to run a successful business. An LLC limits the business owner’s personal liability protecting their personal assets if the company is sued or files for bankruptcy.
What are the benefits of forming your business as an LLC?
Personal Liability Protection
The most important benefit is the protection of the owner's personal assets from creditors.
Pass-Through Taxation
The tax benefit an LLC provides its owners is that they are not subject to the double taxation corporations' experience. The business’s income is reported on the owner’s personal income tax return.
Flexible Ownership
An LLC can either be member-managed or manager-managed. A member-managed LLC means the owners are responsible for the business's day-to-day operations. A manager-managed LLC implies the business is run by someone who is not an owner of the LLC.
Steps to form an LLC
Decide in which state you will form your LLC
Most LLC owners decide to form their LLC in the state they will be doing business.
Choose your LLC name
You must check your State’s records to check whether your name is available.
Draft an Operating Agreement
