LLC formation - Posted by Charley M

There are many sites to assist with incorporation. I’ve researched many the best thing that I did was just to get the filing form from my state, pay the $100 filing fee, and voila, that’s it.

This sets up an LLCs with the state, with no attorney assistance. Attorney assistance isn’t all that necessary if you’re just one person running an REI business… set up a “single member LLC” this works just like a Sole Proprietorship, but without the personal liability issues.

Email me for a list of assistance sites if you’re interested. Otherwise, I highly recommend doing the Single Member LLC. Check with your state laws. I’m in VA, if coincidentally you’re here, too, I’ve got some great info.

Has anyone used any online sites to form their LLC? I have seen sites that offer to set things up for $49 and others that will set it up for anywhere from $129 to $349. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Charley

I have not dealt with online sites and they may be reliable but an LLC varies state by state. I would highly recommend paying the $200-$300 to a local attorney. You will need to have an attorney to review contracts and other things, so it just makes cents to find a good attorney now. He’ll also be able to advise you on which business entity is best for your business, you may not want to form an LLC. To find a good attorney go through your nearest real estate association.
