LLC formation means the process by which one sets up an LLC. The process begins with a filing with the state. The filing is usually called Articles of Organization. The LLC must then adopt an Operating Agreement which is much like a partnership agreement. Finally, the LLC will need to obtain an Employer Identification Number from the IRS.

What are the legal and financial implications of setting up a sole proprietorship for my small business?

I am currently in the process of starting a small business and considering setting it up as a sole proprietorship. I have heard that this is the simplest form of business ownership, but I am unsure about the legal and financial implications of this decision. I would like to understand the potential risks and benefits, as well as any tax considerations or personal liability issues that may arise from operating as a sole proprietor. Ultimately, I want to make an informed decision about the best business structure for my specific circumstances.

A sole proprietorship is one of the simplest forms of business organization. However if you are seeking limited liability protection the best would be a limited liability company. You still receive flow through tax treatment but your personal assets would be protected, as long as business and personal assets are kept separate.

Change from S-Corp to an LLC?

I made an llc when I bought a rental property in houston. But I made it a s corp.

Answered Jan 11, 2022

Making the change isn't hard and is a filing with the IRS. However, you are going to need to talk with someone (tax attorney or CPA) about potential tax consequences for any properties already owned by the LLC.

Yes, if the seller is in breach of the contract by delaying either because there was a deadline or the delays are unreasonable, you can cancel the contract.
