to get started
One lawsuit shouldn't cost you everything.
Without an LLC
A customer slips at your shop and sues for $80k. As a sole proprietor, the judgment can reach your personal bank account and home equity.
With an LLC
The same lawsuit targets the LLC — not you. Your personal assets stay separate, so a bad day in business stays in business.
Four simple steps. No lawyer required.
Pick a name
Choose something unique that ends in "LLC" for your state.
File the paperwork
Submit your Articles of Organization online with your state.
Get your EIN
A free federal ID number from the IRS — needed for your bank account.
Open a business bank account
Keep finances separate to keep the protection intact.
