Why Your Business Should Apply For An LLC Kit And Seal

By Deana Stanton


Owning any size business these days can be difficult, particularly if it is classified as a small business. Many business owners have opted to form a limited liability company for their own protection. With the large amounts being awarded in certain types of lawsuits it would be disastrous for a small business to get sued for damages and not be protected. By incorporating and receiving your LLC kit and seal you can protect your personal assets by dividing them from those of your company.

Personal liability and business liability both can be summed up as an obligation to pay for a service, goods or even damages. Anything you get billed for on a monthly schedule can be called a liability. If your business were to get sued by someone hurt on your property, you could be held liable for damages. Having a limited liability company would help protect your personal property and cash by separating it from the business.

It is a scary thought, but if your business doesn't run as an LLC you could possibly lose everything you have worked for over the years. Given some of the high awards given in court it is completely conceivable that an award be made that would take more than your business is worth. After the business has been drained they would look to you next if you aren't covered under the shield of limited liability.

The monetary damages your company would have to pay out would a limited value set that is no more than the amount contained in the worth of the business. Once those assets had been drained there could be no further monetary damages brought against you personally. This separates and secures the assets of both personal and business entities.

People who have business partners also run the risk of the partner bring financial hardship onto the company. If one partner incurs a lot of debt he cannot pay or gets personally sued, it could come back on the company. With a limited liability company both business owners have a buffer against debt collections on personal debts. The company would not liable for either partner's personal debt.

Another reason many owners decide to incorporate under the title of limited liability is for the lower tax rates. Other types of incorporation are generally taxed at a higher rate and therefore pay quite a bit more each year in taxes. The business structure and management style is also much less complicated and it requires less paperwork than other types of incorporation.

As you can now see there are certainly plenty of perks that go along with a limited liability status for your business. If your company is not currently designated as limited liability, you must make the decision on if it is best to gain this status or if you would like to incorporate as another entity. Each type of corporation has its own benefits and disadvantages so you must weigh them against one another and then decide.

When you do file as limited liability you will get an LLC kit and seal for your company. In it you will have your tax ID, member interest ledger, roll sheets and your seal among other things. You can get different packages that contain more or less items with each package having a different price.
