5.0 out of 5 stars LLC simple, October 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Nolo's Quick LLC: All You Need to Know About Limited Liability Companies (Legal Basic Series) (Paperback)

I recently bought this book and found it to be very informative and to the point. I looked at other books, but most were wordy. My time is limited and I needed a book that would provide me the info without the fluff. There is a good state information section that provides info like Addresses, URLs, Legal URLs, Name Requirements, and form descriptions. The actual forms are not provided but the resource is given. I would recommend this book for someone looking for enough information to answer your questions and give you guidance in going forward.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, October 16, 2002

This review is from: Nolo's Quick LLC: All You Need to Know About Limited Liability Companies (Legal Basic Series) (Paperback)

This book breaks what you need to know to form an LLC down nicely and easily by chapter. You can skip around if you'd like, but I wanted to make sure I knew everything about the topic and read it straight through. Full of helpful examples to illustrate the concepts just presented. Definitely recommend to others looking to learn about corporate structures and most specifically, the LLC.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not "All You Need To Know", January 16, 2006

By	FD (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nolo's Quick LLC: All You Need to Know About Limited Liability Companies (Legal Basic Series) (Paperback)

I was hoping to be able to set up the LCC with this book, but apparently I needed to get the "How to Form an LLC" book (which I'm NOT going to do).

I've read the Nolo California Corporations book and it already covered much of the info here. What I was looking for was help with writing good articles of organization and operating agreement (specifically for a 1-person LLC).

The operating agreement example he gives is not specific to a one-person firm. A prudent person might change the language in his example operating agreement to reflect that the LLC is composed of just one person. Also, the book does not cover the fact that in CA you can specify additional info in the Articles, such as rules for admitting new members.

Awfully light for "All you need to know".
