What is an LLC?

An LLC, or limited liability company, is a type of business structure that offers its owners limited liability. This means that the owners are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the LLC. In other words, if the LLC is sued, the owners' personal assets (such as their homes and cars) are protected.

LLCs are popular among small business owners because they offer the following benefits:

• Limited liability
• Pass-through taxation
• Flexibility
• Simplicity

How to Form an LLC

Forming an LLC is relatively simple. Here are the steps involved:

1. Choose a name for your LLC. The name must be unique and must not be used by any other business in your state.
2. File a certificate of formation with your state's secretary of state. The certificate of formation must include the name of your LLC, the address of its registered office, and the names and addresses of its owners.
3. Obtain an EIN (employer identification number) from the IRS. The EIN is used to identify your LLC for tax purposes.

Operating an LLC

Once you have formed your LLC, you will need to take steps to operate it properly. These steps include:

• Opening a business bank account
• Maintaining accurate financial records
• Filing annual reports with your state's secretary of state
• Paying taxes
