[Diego · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

[Patricia · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.
