What is an LLC?

If you're completely new to business, you might not yet know what an LLC is. An LLC is a Limited Liability Company and, put simply, it's a business structure very common in the United States to protect the personal assets of the business owner.

When you form an LLC, your business becomes its own legal entity. This means that the company is responsible for any lawsuits, debts, and so on, and not the owners of the company.

What is the Best LLC Service?

While you can form an LLC yourself, it's definitely not the easiest or most optimal way unless you have some legal background.

Most new businesses will use an LLC formation service to make the whole process a lot easier. A good LLC service will:

  • Make sure your company name is available
  • Ensure all legal documents are filed
  • Become your registered agent
  • Save you many hours of time
  • Keep you notified of any filing deadlines

We've reviewed many of the top LLC formation services available, and wrote a summary with our recommendations in our Best LLC Services guide.

LLC Registered Agent Services

Every LLC is required by law to have a registered agent. You can do this yourself, but it isn't ideal because not only do you have to handle the paperwork, your address will be publicly available.

Most businesses will use a registered agent service to keep your personal details private and to handle all of your paperwork and mail.
