6 Steps to Set Up An LLC

If you have a business – either a sole proprietorship or partnership – you should seriously consider setting it up within an LLC. It will provide you with similar legal protections to a corporation, but enable you to run your company as a small business.

LLC is an abbreviation for limited liability company. It’s a business structure that provides a business with limited liability (similar to a corporation), but the structure is easier to establish and simpler to maintain. It also provides the business with pass-through treatment of income for tax purposes, similar to that of a sole proprietorship or a partnership.
