Limited Liability Companies For Dummies Paperback – September 2, 2014

Limited Liability Companies For Dummies, like most of the "Dummies" books, quickly gets down to business and succinctly covers all the basic terms and issues involving forming your own LLC. I found it to be very helpful in understanding the subject of LLC formation. The book promotes MyLLC.Com as a LLC formation service, with discount coupon code. There are a lot of on-line formation services out there but I went ahead and used MyLLC and had a very good experience. If you're setting up a one person LLC or simple service company this book will probably be all you need to get going. If your company plans involve many partners, silent partners, or large amounts of capital then it might be best to consult an attorney. But the book is still worth reading before beginning the process to get you up to speed on topics, issues and terms. For me it was all I needed to form my own LLC. RECOMMENDED.

Best book I've ever read...for someone starting a new business with no experience or knowledge regarding such, this book was a huge help! The author is awesome, very intelligent, experienced, funny, and speaks to me on my level. Offers links to gather additional info when necessary, suggests outside sources for more info, and consultations with other professionals ect. if needed. I have a very good basic understanding of how to start the business I've dreamed of and feel confident going forward in doing such, plus I know where to look to get additional support and info. Awesome book.

While it is difficult to read about a dry subject the author does a fairly good job explaining legal jargon, tax strategies, and establishing legal protection in an ethical way.The book is paired with an online resource that goes deeper into the complex subject subjects at no extra chargeThe book also repeats key ideas that help retain the important stuff, which is good since I'd rather not have to reread the subject several times.

Got for husband due to started a new business. Perfect for beginners. Read before you open your LLC.

Par for the course for a Dummies book - give enough information without being pedantic or superfluous and this one is no exception. Very easy read, very informative. I feel confident forming and running my LLC. Thank you for the information!

This book is a great reference source. This was a smart purchase for me.

Reuting's book is a decent introduction to starting and operating an LLC. After reading it, expect that you will either have to 1) hire professionals to help plan your LLC, or 2) do a bunch of online research to supplement the book. This isn't really a criticism of the book itself... I just think it's important to set reader expectations. This book will give you a starting point; you WILL have to do more work to establish your LLC.It's hard for a book to stay on top of all of the state laws and regulations. Like a lot of books, it proposes to fill the gap with online content. Practically speaking, this isn't a practical alternative unless the book is a huge best seller... an author just can't justify the time to keep all that information up to date. In this case, there are a several online articles, and coverage of a few states in the key topic areas.LLCs for Dummies would benefit from more detailed coverage of operating agreements, worksheets to help readers actually plan and run their LLC, and (especially) references to external business resources that will be kept up to date for key topics. (examples include the SBA and IRS at the federal level)

I bought this book along with several others to educate myself on LLCs. In combination with other material it is a well written simple compliment that explains in easily understood terms the benefits of the LLC. I found the chapter on state laws to be especially intriguing. I also discovered that I can file the LLC in a state other than where I live for more benefits and then register to transact business in my home state.Big plus is an optional service the author offers for consultation, etc.
