Simple, Flexible Protection
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the most popular business structure for small businesses because it combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax flexibility and simplicity of a partnership.
Unlike sole proprietorships, an LLC creates a legal separation between you and your business. This means your personal assets (home, car, savings) are protected if your business faces lawsuits or debts.
LLCs also offer "pass-through" taxation by default, meaning profits flow directly to your personal tax return without corporate-level taxation, saving you money and paperwork.
