The Essentials vs. Tailored

FAQ

  • Schedule a free 30 minute initial consultation with me where I will explain The Essentials and Tailored options. Afterward, you let me know which option you would like and I then start the LLC formation process.

  • That depends on your particular situation. Generally, I recommend LLCs due to its limited liability protection and it being simpler and more flexible than a corporation. However, it is best to consult with a business lawyer to find out which is better for your specific situation. Contact me to learn whether an LLC is right for you.
