Comment: This guide is clear, concise and an absolute must-read for those starting an LLC.

Before I picked up this book I was completely in the dark, but for every question I had there was a simple and easy to understand answer.

Summary: Needed in this economic downturn
Comment: If your run your own business, even out of the house, you'd be nuts not to do it under an LLC. Without the protections of an LLC, you can get yourself into a world of legal trouble. Add to that, LLC can save you on taxes.

The problem is, putting together an LLC is not easy and using lawyers is expensive. That's what I learned.

Thank God for this book. It's easy to read, covers all the topics, and weighs out the pros and cons of the choice I had to make for my LLC. After a few hours of reading, I knew what I had to do and did it.

Now my business is covered by an LLC and I saved a ton of money. Plus, I don't have to worry about something stupid happening to my business and as a result, my house being taken away.

Customer Rating:

Summary: a must read
Comment: We are in the process of becoming a LLC and I bought the book hoping for some answers in one syllable or less. This is a must read book for anyone thinking of forming a LLC. It answered all my questions and brought up some questions I need to ask my lawyer. I have had it only a couple of months and have read it twice and will probably refer to it again. It gives the lay person insite into the LLC and helps you answer questions about forming maintaining and ending a LLC.You need to read this before going any further into organizing a LLC. It also gives you alternatives to a LLC too. The version with the CD rom with it provides current forms that need to be filed with each state which is a plus.
