EXAMPLE ONLY - 50 States Available!
Enclosed you will find all of the forms and materials that you will need to establish your business as a Limited Liability Company. Follow the instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the Operating Agreement so that you will be able to stay in compliance with the law as you run your business.
This kit and the Operating Agreement are drafted to create what is referred to in the industry as a "bulletproof limited liability company." It conforms with state and federal laws so that the limited liability company will receive the beneficial tax treatment of a partnership and avoid the potential "double taxation" of a corporation while, at the same time, extending corporate liability protection to its members."
B. Fill out the LLC-1 line by line as instructed below.
Line 1: Enter the name of the limited liability company. The name must end with "LLC (no periods) or "Limited Liability Company."
Warning ! All documents connected with the business must now indicate that the company is an LLC. Checking accounts, letterhead, business cards etc. are included so that anyone doing business with the company will know that they are dealing with an LLC.
