Common questions
LLC vs. corporation — which is better?
LLCs offer liability protection with pass-through taxation and less formal paperwork. Corporations suit businesses planning to raise outside investment or issue stock. The right choice depends on your goals.
Do I need an operating agreement?
Most states do not legally require one for a single-member LLC, but it is strongly recommended. It sets ownership, profit splits, and what happens if a member leaves or dies.
Can I form an LLC in another state?
Yes, but if you operate in your home state you will usually need to register there as a foreign entity anyway — which can mean paying fees in two states.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring a description of the business, the owners and their ownership splits, any existing contracts or leases, and your questions about tax treatment.
