This comprehensive, easy-to-use toolkit provides step-by-step instructions to plan, organize, form, operate and maintain a limited liability company (LLC) in any state.

LLCs are one of the most flexible business formations available and are ideal for small or start-up companies. For many businesses, forming as an LLC means the best of both worlds. As in partnerships, taxation passes through directly to the business, avoiding the double taxation problem with corporations. And like corporations, LLCs offer liability protection for owners and their assets. Plus, fewer ongoing requirements and formalities reduce the amount of paperwork and maintenance needed to protect an LLC's status, making LLCs safer than corporations.

However, LLCs aren't for everyone. To help you make an informed decision, business legal expert Michael Spadaccini provides invaluable insight, offering tips from the pros, practical sidebars, and lists of advantages and disadvantages.
