What is LLC formation?

I am in the process of starting a business and am looking to protect my personal assets from any potential liabilities of the business. I have heard that setting up a LLC can help with this, but I am not sure what it entails. I am looking to learn more about LLC formation and to understand the benefits and drawbacks of this type of business structure.

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.
