Critic Reviews

“"Good news from the IRS... you, too, can be an LLC. The advantage: profits are taxed just once, like a partnership, while personal liability is limited, like a corporation. [And now you can do it yourself with] Nolo's book on LLCs." Business Week "Entrepreneurs can take advantage of the unique tax and legal benefits of the LLC for less than the cost of 10 minutes of their own lawyer's time." Money Maker's Monthly "In typical straight forward Nolo fashion, this book explains everything from choosing a name to maintaining the LLC's legal and tax status." Orange County Register”
