Standard LLC
Register an LLC: Benefits
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a popular business structure for small businesses. An LLC is formed in accordance with state law and has the benefit of providing personal protection for the owners of the company. Limited Liability Companies can also provide for “pass through” tax treatment, avoiding a double level of taxation found within C corporations. Unless a voluntary contrary election is made, only the owners of the LLC are taxed, and there is no tax at the company level.
One benefit of having a Limited Liability Company is the LLC retains important tax benefits of the sole proprietorship, such as: owner compensation in the form of distributions of profit, which are taxed at the individual owner’s tax bracket
Another purpose of an LLC is to provide liability protection for the members and managers. Unlike some other business structures, like a sole proprietorship, in a properly structured and managed LLC, owners should have limited liability for business debts and obligations.
The exact rules for setting up an LLC vary by state, although the general requirements are quite similar. You don’t have to hire an attorney to form an LLC. Blue Diamond Documents filed thousands of Limited Liability Companies in all 50 states.
