Editorial Reviews

Review

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. (BusinessWeek 20090101)

Armed with this book, 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 straightforward Nolo fashion, this book explains everything from choosing a name to maintaining the LLC's legal and tax status. (Orange County Register ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource, April 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Form Your Own Limited Liability Company (2nd Ed.) (Paperback)
I found this book extremely helpful in getting my LLC set up - saved on lawyer's fees for sure! The disk provides sample forms that were useful as well. I bought 3 different books on this subject, and ended up using only this one - highly recommend it if you want the specific administrative details on setting up your LLC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch start up guide and resource, November 17, 2000
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Form Your Own Limited Liability Company (2nd Ed.) (Paperback)
I bought this book when I started my business and I refer to it constantly. While it is geared toward LLCs, it offers information on other business entities such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, C Corp.s and S corporations to help you decide what is best for you. It provides all the guidance needed to establish and maintain an LLC. I made the mistake of loaning the book out once and had to ask for it back because I use it so much. It has an entire section on maintaining an LLC after it is established to help keep records and legalities straight. Well worth the money!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough for the price, August 1, 2002
This book has a good explanation of the ins and outs of forming an LLC. However, in most cases, you create an LLC by filling the blanks in a state form, and then optionally create an Operating Agreement by filling in the blanks in a sample version included in the book.

The value of this book is in the state-by-state reference and in the sample Operating Agreement (and accompanying explanations). It doesn't tell you much of anything about what else you need to do to start a business or run it, referring you to other books written by the author.

Given the relatively light content, I wouldn't have expected it to be on the high end price range of Nolo's offerings. The book's real value for me was filling in some gaps in Nolo's excellent "Small Business Start-Up Kit for California" by Peri Pakroo.
