 Must Have for Entrepreneurs October 22, 2009

Let me state for the record, I run an LLC and have Nolo's other book on LLC's "Your Limited Liability Company: An Operating Manual" (I can't even begin to count how many times that book has come in handy - I don't think my calculator goes that high).
If I'd gotten this book - Form Your Own Limited Liability Company - I would've easily saved $750 in legal fees when I started up. That right there should be enough for you to stop reading this review, and just rush out and get this book if you're thinking about starting up an LLC.
I'm not saying you can do completely without a lawyer, but I suspect you can certainly save at least $750 of legal fees using the information, the forms, templates, and all the tips and advice in this book. If I had to do it all over again, I'd use this book to craft all the basic stuff, then bring that to my attorney to tweak, and voila - instant LLC for less.
Here are some key items you'll find in this book that are incredibly helpful (in addition to the CD with all the forms):
* Comparing LLCs to other forms of business incorporation (including the "doing business as ____" and tax benefits / risks)
* Basics of LLCs components you need to have vs. nice-to-have's
* Key tax items to keep in mind (this is also good to help you weed out accountants - any of them that look at you blankly when you start discussing pass-through versus corporate tax returns is not for you)
* Step-by-step walk-throughs of various documents you need to prepare
* What not to do and what to do when it comes to selecting company names - and why
* Basics operating elements (high-level summary of the other Nolo LLC Operating Manual I mentioned above)
* Advice on finding good lawyers and accountants
* State-specific information (oh, that I had this information 3 years ago)
* Tearout versions of some of the forms, letters and templates so you can start to make notes and jot down ideas right away as you read through the book
And like all Nolo books, you don't need to read through - you just skip around to the parts you need or want. Frankly, even just for the forms and templates, with the rest of the 259 pages just "padding" I think this book is well worth it.
If you're thinking of forming an LLC, this is one resource you should not do without. After all, why throw away $750...?
A Must Read if You're Starting a Partnership November 11, 2009

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
About three years ago I started my own business, and created it as an LLC. It was a simple thing: $50, and a one-page form. Based on that experience, I wondered what could fill a whole book on the subject. Turns out, a lot.
Forming an LLC may be a simple thing in most states if you're going to be the sole member, and have no passive investors. But if you're going to have active or passive partners, there are so many things to consider.
The gist of the book is that if you have fewer than 35 partners, and have no particular need to form a corporation, an LLC can give you a lot of flexibility, and as well as protection of your personal assets. But you need to consider a number of issues before writing your operating agreement, and filing for an LLC.
The book is well written, and relatively easy to understand. It explains both the "hows" and the "whys" with clarity. I would suggest that even if you are inclined to hire your own attorney to handle this legal work that you read this book before burning a lot of billable hours.
Wish I had this book when I set up my business. Clear, straightforward and useful info. November 5, 2009
Two kids mom (NM United States)
I really wish I had this book several years ago when I was setting up my own business. I spent hours trying to figure out the differences between different kinds of business entities. And on page 23-25 of this book they are all laid out in a table , making it easy to compare the legal characteristics and tax characteristics. I would have paid the cost of this book just for this table when I was trying to set up my own business.
Don't fall for those online sharks who say they can set up your LLC for you for a "small fee". You can do it yourself with this book in couple of hours. The book gives great advice on which type of business structure works the best, on the tax consequences and the paperwork. The included cd makes it easy to set up the papers you need to file and an appendix in the back outlines the requirement and fees for each state.
Very useful and straightforward book.
Superb Step by Step Instructions plus resources on disc November 6, 2009

I've been a long time fan of Nolo publications but have been somewhat disappointed by recent offerings. Fortunately, there was no such disappointment with Form your Own LLC...this is the same great information in a user friendly format that made Nolo one of the most popular choices among consumers/readers. Whether you simply want to arm yourself with an overview of the process or would like to use the ample resources available on the cd, this will walk you through everything including the pros and cons of doing it yourself (or not).
It spends a little time covering basic business structure and related considerations but unlike other books, doesn't fill itself with "fluff" but rather includes only that information most relevant to the formation of a LLC. There are substantial resources including state requirements so you can compare both the form and the various states to make an informed decision.
The included cd with resources is what really sets this apart from earlier versions - and of course, it is also updated. A superb resources with the same quality information that made Nolo a leader in legal related information.
Nolo does it again November 10, 2009
Ardeal (Atlanta, GA United States)
Entrepreneurs may see the economic downturn of 2009 as an opportunity to start their own business. LLC - Limited Liability Company ensures that the owners are protected from personal liability, while allowing partnership style taxation. This NOLO publication is a great guide if you're flirting with the idea of opening your own LLC. As usual with NOLO publication, you have plenty of forms and an accompanying CD. Plus you can get free updates from their website. I like the fact that this guide helps one decide the best management structure for the business, and takes care of all the legal and tax paperwork.
