Considerations for Starting an LLC
An LLC isn’t required to have income or post profits. You can choose how you want to be taxed, with potential tax savings. There is a management structure to select from, providing credibility and liability protection.
The cost to file an LLC is around $40-$500, with additional fees for a registered agent and physical address. These costs are tax deductible.
An LLC protects your assets if sued, with an Operating Agreement outlining rules to resolve issues. An LLC offers credibility, liability protection, and potential tax benefits for your side hustle, making it an affordable option.
