What it Takes to Form an LLC

By: Wayne Hemrick

As a small business owner, you might choose the easy and economical method to incorporate online. There are several online services available that can help with incorporating your business in one state or several. There is some paperwork involved in each state in which you want to conduct business, as well as fees that must be paid, and it is helpful to make sure all aspects of incorporation are properly handled by making use of an incorporating online company devoted to providing this service. One type of corporation that appeals to many small business owners is the LLC. Here are some points you will need to consider when forming an LLC.

Whne considering incorporating your business it is a good idea to also form an LLC. The LLC, or limited liability company, is the easiest to form in terms of the paperwork required to be submitted to the state, as well as ongoing business records that must be kept. Because the rules governing an LLC do not require annual meetings, there is no record keeping involved for this business aspect in terms of the LLC, unlike other corporation formats that require such.

A LLC can be owned and operated by a citizen of the United States, a resident alien or another person or corporate entity outside or inside the United States. This is not the case with an S-Corporation, which requires the owner to be a natural U.S. citizen or a legal resident; no corporation or person living outside the U.S. can own an S-Corporation here. The members of the LLC can decide on their own how to divide up the profits or losses of the business, unlike other forms of incorporation.

A limited liability corporation may be required to pay Medicare and Social Security taxes on all of the business profits that the business makes. In terms of these types of taxes, if your business deals with the areas of engineering and design, the law or health care, you will likely need to consult with an accountant or tax adviser in order to determine if the LLC structure will adequately meet your specific business's needs.

Each state has slightly differing requirements concerning how to form an LLC. If you are a licensed professional wanted to incorporate in California, for example, California law forbids limited liability companies from providing professional services as an individual. If you are not a licensed professional, you may form an LLC in California, but you will be required to pay an $800 tax for the privilege of doing business in the state, plus an extra annual LLC fee that is based on a percentage of all of your total income for the year from all sources.

When it comes to incorporating, small business owners have enough to think about without learning every state's differing rules of incorporation. This is why it can make sense to consider incorporating online, for speedy and trustworthy service when you want to form an LLC.
