An LLC is a business structure that classifies your business individually as separate from you and allows you to run your business more professionally than a sole proprietorship. What are the different types of LLC? When creating an LLC, you can choose between single-member or multi-member LLCs, as well as member-managed or manager-managed LLCs. There are also LLCs held for investment or passive activities, as opposed to commercial operating LLCs. All new businesses must pay a registration fee. Each state sets its own fees and LegalShield does not make money from the registration fee.
To estimate your state filing fees, use our state filing calculator. What are the benefits of running my business as an LLC? An LLC protects your personal assets (such as your personal and personal bank accounts) from lawsuits and business debts, offers flexible tax options to help you avoid double taxation, and gives you the ability to open commercial bank accounts, hire employees, and apply for business licenses and permits.

LLCs allow their business owners to shift profits and losses to their personal federal tax returns, rather than first paying corporate income tax on profits and then segregating personal taxes when the money is distributed by the business. LLCs can also choose corporate taxation by filing IRS Form 8832 if they wish to take advantage of lower tax rates or other tax strategies. How is an LLC different from S Corporations and C Corporations? Incorporation has more formal requirements (such as share issuance), fewer tax options, and requires a more complex management structure and annual reporting.
