HIRE A TRUSTED BUSINESS ATTORNEY: YOUR RELIABLE LLC FORMATION ATTORNEY

LLC stands for limited liability company. Like sole proprietorships and partnerships, they are some of the most common entity types for small businesses. The members (owners) of an LLC are not personally liable for the debts of the business. This protects their personal assets in the event that the business goes bankrupt or goes into debt due to a lawsuit against the company. Corporations also afford limited liability to the shareholders, but they are more complex. An LLC is an excellent choice for many new business owners. Contact Attorney Eric Smith today to find out if an LLC is the right choice for you and get started on the paperwork today! As a business lawyer, he’s proud to serve clients in Grand Prairie, TX, and nearby areas.
