Benefits to Forming an LLC in California
You can benefit from forming a California LLC, even if you are a big business. It may be a surprise to learn that many LLCs are small. In fact, the benefits of forming an LLC outweigh the benefits of being a sole proprietorship. Opting to file as an LLC is cost and time efficient.
The main benefits of forming a California LLC are as follows:
- Your business debt risk is lowered. If you run a general partnership or sole proprietorship, you could be held personally responsible for any debts the business accumulates. Unfortunately, this means that your personal property (such as your home or car) could be seized by creditors to satisfy any business-related debts. But, when you form an LLC, your personal property will be much safer because the state views your business as a separate entity from you, the business owner. In other words, your personal obligation for company debt greatly decreases and prevents creditors from coming after your personal assets.
- Savings on taxes. Your tax advisor or personal accountant can inform you regarding tax benefits for LLCs. However, by default, your LLC will be taxed as a pass-through entity—which means the business itself does not need to file taxes. Instead, the owners will report their share of the profits on their personal tax returns. As a result, LLCs are not subject to double-taxation, unlike traditional corporations.
- Greater credibility. When establishing a new business venture, credibility is an issue of important with potential partners, staff, clients, and suppliers. An LLC is registered with the state and underscores the legitimacy of your company.
- Creating funds for business. LLCs have more credibility with banks; otherwise, it can be more difficult to secure capital. As an LLC, you will gain credibility with bank managers and clients who will be more favorably impressed with your business.
- Retirement plans. For LLCs, retirement plans are activated much more easily as compared to general partnerships. Retirement funds are also easily within the reach of LLCs.
At the end of the day, if you are serious about getting into the business world, securing an LLC is a pivotal step in beginning to establish a business identity and protecting yourself personally. Hire CCA today and we make sure this is not just some expense—you are gaining a valuable asset for making sure business runs smoothly and in compliance with the state.
