Who should form an LLC?

In the US, there are over 21 million existing businesses that are unincorporated. And each year, more than 620,000 new businesses open. Though the incorporation process should be done when a business first opens, many start with marketing efforts first (like a website and advertising) before covering the legal basics. Just because a business has been around for a while, does not necessarily mean they are incorporated!

The most common types of businesses that form LLCs are:

• Restaurants
• Medical professionals (doctors, dentists, etc.)
• Travel industry professionals
• Independant contractors
• Property owners
• Consultants and start-ups
• ...and so much more!
