As a handyman, you provide essential services that keep homes and businesses in good repair. When you're focused on fixing leaky faucets, repairing drywall, or tackling small renovations, the last thing you want to worry about is legal paperwork. However, structuring your business correctly from the start is crucial for long-term success and security. Many handymen choose to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) to separate their personal assets from their business liabilities. An LLC offers a blend of pass-through taxation, similar to a sole proprietorship or partnership, and the liability protection of a corporation. This means that if your business incurs debt or faces a lawsuit, your personal assets like your home, car, and savings are generally protected. This protection is a significant advantage, especially in a trade where accidents or property damage can occur. This guide will walk you through the process of forming an LLC for your handyman business, covering key considerations, state-specific requirements, and how Lovie can streamline this process for you across all 50 US states.
