Benefits & Popularity of LLC

LLCs have become a popular choice in recent years for very good reasons. They are inexpensive and flexible entities that serve many useful purposes.

Even if you do not have a traditional small business but instead own investment property that you rent out to tenants, an LLC can be an excellent vehicle to protect your other assets. Examples of LLC benefits include:

  • Provides liability protection without as much upkeep and formality as a corporation

  • Allows for pass-through tax treatment

  • Inexpensive to maintain

  • Can be incorporated into your estate plan to allow easy transfer of control in the event of incapacity or death
