Forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a popular choice for entrepreneurs seeking personal liability protection combined with the flexibility of a pass-through taxation structure. The process, often referred to as 'filing for LLC,' involves submitting specific documents to the designated state agency, typically the Secretary of State. This step legally establishes your business as a separate entity from its owners, the members.
