Limited Liability Companies For Dummies

Limited Liability Companies For Dummies, like most of the "Dummies" books, quickly gets down to business and succinctly covers all the basic terms and issues involving forming your own LLC. I found it to be very helpful in understanding the subject of LLC formation. The book promotes MyLLC.Com as a LLC formation service, with discount coupon code. There are a lot of on-line formation services out there but I went ahead and used MyLLC and had a very good experience. If you're setting up a one person LLC or simple service company this book will probably be all you need to get going. If your company plans involve many partners, silent partners, or large amounts of capital then it might be best to consult an attorney. But the book is still worth reading before beginning the process to get you up to speed on topics, issues and terms. For me it was all I needed to form my own LLC. RECOMMENDED.

Best book I've ever read...for someone starting a new business with no experience or knowledge regarding such, this book was a huge help! The author is awesome, very intelligent, experienced, funny, and speaks to me on my level. Offers links to gather additional info when necessary, suggests outside sources for more info, and consultations with other professionals ect. if needed. I have a very good basic understanding of how to start the business I've dreamed of and feel confident going forward in doing such, plus I know where to look to get additional support and info. Awesome book.

You can tell Jennifer knows her stuff; in fact, I may use her company to form my LLC! The reasoning for a 4 star review rather than a 5 star is because of the fact that the main helpful links in the ebook (the links you truly need in order to recieve the more "down to business" facts regarding state specific rules & regulations) does not work. Now, this book was updated just a few months ago. And the "Dummies" brand is world known. You'd think they'd care enough to update and/or maintain live links--that's part of the deal of purchasing this specific book, after all. But aside from that, I highly recommend giving this book a read if you're considering forming an LLC.

I have Nolo, and a couple others but this is the best simple to read book to get you started in the right direction, yet containing a lot of good solid info. But like most LLC books, be wary on the advice on incorporating in different states other than where you do business.

The book takes you from beginning to end with lots of insider information. I would highly recommend reading this before looking up on YouTube on how to start an LLC

Got for husband due to started a new business. Perfect for beginners. Read before you open your LLC.

Reuting's book is a decent introduction to starting and operating an LLC. After reading it, expect that you will either have to 1) hire professionals to help plan your LLC, or 2) do a bunch of online research to supplement the book. This isn't really a criticism of the book itself... I just think it's important to set reader expectations. This book will give you a starting point; you WILL have to do more work to establish your LLC. It's hard for a book to stay on top of all of the state laws and regulations. Like a lot of books, it proposes to fill the gap with online content. Practically speaking, this isn't a practical alternative unless the book is a huge best seller... an author just can't justify the time to keep all that information up to date. In this case, there are a several online articles, and coverage of a few states in the key topic areas. LLCs for Dummies would benefit from more detailed coverage of operating agreements, worksheets to help readers actually plan and run their LLC, and (especially) references to external business resources that will be kept up to date for key topics. (examples include the SBA and IRS at the federal level)

I bought this book along with several others to educate myself on LLCs. In combination with other material it is a well written simple compliment that explains in easily understood terms the benefits of the LLC. I found the chapter on state laws to be especially intriguing. I also discovered that I can file the LLC in a state other than where I live for more benefits and then register to transact business in my home state. Big plus is an optional service the author offers for consultation, etc.
