Hey guys, how does one go about becoming an LLC?
I have been operating as a Sole Proprietor for two years and it is time to separate my accounts and get set up to possibly have a payroll in the future. I would like to transfer and maintain an account just for business stuff and just pay myself out of that account, that way all my personal finances are separated from work finances and I can tie retail accounts to it. Also, I assume that it offers a certain level of protection from lawsuits that way. Are there different types of LLC? Can I simply go to the county office building and change my DBA status or do I need some paperwork? |

Lawyer quoted me $750 plus the state fees 
Another question. Did you guys act as your own registered agent? that's about what it will cost from legal zoom, i did the deluxe and it was just over 700 (filing fees inluded in that btw). my lawyer wanted 1500, plus all the filing fees, etc. i let legalzoom be my registered agent, but that is a decision you have to make for yourself. |
