Make it official with an LLC.
Our CPAs typically recommend forming an LLC, or limited liability company, due to its numerous advantages to small business entrepreneurs.
LLC owners enjoy simplicity and flexibility in how they are taxed along with the protection of their personal assets, shielding them from business liabilities.
This protection ensures that an owner isn't taxed as an business and again as an individual, leading to significant savings.
Once you've formed an LLC, you have 75 days to select a different business structure for your new company, such as an S corporation. If you have questions, please call us or schedule an appointment.
