SMLLCs are the new popular business entity of choice for single owner small businesses. This book provides all the essential information you need to decide whether an SMLLC is the right choice for you and your business. It covers everything from forming an SMLLC to SMLLC tax and liability issues to dissolving an SMLLC.
This is a great initial start to getting familiar with LLCs and how to begin. But depending on the nature of the business, more research is required. I would still recommend hiring an accountant rather than just a lawyer.
This is a handy guide of things to know if you are thinking about starting a single member LLC. The information is clear, it breaks down details and there are links to free forms.
