Starting a US Business

LLC Formation

Forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is one of the most common ways to start a US business, giving you a legal separation between your personal and business finances.

Overview

What This Service Covers

An LLC is a business structure that's recognized in every US state. It's popular with small business owners and solo founders because it keeps your personal assets separate from your business's debts and liabilities, while generally being simpler to set up and run than a corporation.

Requirements and filing details can vary by state, so what's needed for your LLC depends on where and how you're forming it.
