LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


Q: Would an LLC be better than filing a fictitious business name?

A: Regadless you will need to register the name. Instead just form an LLC or an S corporation though LLCs are preferred these days. For example if the assumed business name is . deas XYZtch , Inc.Co. this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

Just recording an assumed business name does nothing to keep the name exclusive nor does it avoid personal liability for the business owners. Only setting up a limited liability company (LLC) will protect the name at the state level and also protect the owners of personal liability. Since registering an assumed business name does not protect anything and it requires a fee -- which is almost as high as setting up a limited liability company (LLC) fee -- it is better set up a limited liability company (LLC) for about the same fee and enjoy the protection of a corporate entity.

So for example if an employee is injured on business premises the employee can sue you personally unless you are an limited liability company (LLC) in which case the employee can only sue the corporation.

A limited liability company (LLC) affords more prestige and it helps you obtain business loans.

Q: What state should I form an LLC in?
A: Though you hear Delaware to be a good state to form your llc stay with your state.

Q: Can I set up my LLC alone or do I need a lawyer?

Q: How do I apply for an llc tax ID number?
A: You can apply for a tax ID number here online. Simple click on the order button - fill out the application - and submit it so we can obtain the ID for you .

Q: What is a DUNS Number?
A: Dun & Bradstreet is a business credit rating company and they use your info to inform lenders about how credit worthy you are.

Q: Do I need to use a tax ID if I am a sole member LLC?
A: If you are a sole proprietor and you are not an employer you can use your Social Security number. Only partnerships LLCs employers and corporations need to get a federal tax ID number.

You can avoid being personally liable for liabilities arising out of business transactions if you set up an LLC or form a corporation. For example if a client slips and falls in your store you will not be subject to lawsuits if you have formed an LLC or set up a corporation. If you planning big such as becoming a publicly traded company you will need to set up a C corporation to offer stock shares in the stock market. An S corporation avoids all associated formalities and can only issue stock to a small number of shareholders and the stock cannot be bought publicly that is in the stock market. Partnerships need both a federal EIN and a fictitious firm name registration . To look like a serious and prestigious business it is recommended that you incorporate or form an LLC because such legal business entities are more respected in the business world.
home businesses need both a home occupation license and a business license. Even online or home based businesses need to obtain all necessary licenses like any other business. Commercial location stores need a business license and some zoning clearances.             If there are chemicals or other materials or activities that present danger to the reasonable person requires inspections. If you are home based it is better not to store or say that you store merchandise in your home because they may not issue a business license. Merchandise samples or small quantities may be okey to keep at a home business location. Generally businesses signs are not allowed in a residential home location.         Most government do not allow more than 2 home based business employees.   Brick an mortar stucture in you home residences used as a store most likely will not be allowed.
