How Much Do You Charge for an LLC Filing
It starts at $119 (Michigan) total but can be as much as $600 (Illinois). The good thing is that it includes all you need to run your business as an LLC but it does not include tax ID or business licenses registrations.
An LLC protects both your business and personal assets. This is because it is a separate corporate legal person entity. In addition, if you have another LLC owner, the LLC cannot be dissolved to satisfy your personal debts/liabilities because it belongs to both you and the other owner.
To contrast that with a corporation, if you had a corporation, your shares would be seized and the debtor would become the owner of your corporation.
An LLC can help you Distribute Ownership Percentage with an LLC operating agreement can be used to allocate percentage of ownership and rights and duties.
You a can outline duties and responsibilities as well as rights of each member, owner, partner. That avoids disputes with other members.
An LLC filing eliminates the necessity to file a dba if you use the LLC name as a trade name.

An LLC can be used as a sole proprietor, partnership, or corporation.
Thus, according to your situation, just select the type most saves you taxes.
As a sole proprietor, you will be PERSONALLY liable for all duties and liabilities
of your business, such as business debts and lawsuit judgments.
Likewise, a corporation is liable for its own wrongs and corporate assets can be liquidated to satisfy a judgment creditor.
On the other hand, an LLC is far better and superior.
As opposed to a sole proprietorship and a corporation, an LLC will protect itself and your personal assets.
For example, if you are sued for a business wrong, the judgement creditor cannot access your personal assets such as your home and car, nor can he or she access your LLC assets such as your business equipment ( in most cases).
1. An LLC protects both your personal assets against business actions and your LLC assets ( corporations do not protect corporate assets)
2. You can allocate duties and rights as well as profits and ownership %s. You cannot do that with a corporation.
3. You need far less paperwork such as corporate minutes, meetings etc. Corporations must have these corporate formalities.
4. You can run an LLC as a sole proprietorship, a partnership or as a corporation.
5. If you do not run as corporation, you avoid double taxation.

You legally need both of these to run your LLC.
