Filed For My LLC
As I mentioned earlier, I’m starting a business. Since I’m learning this as I do it, I’m posting along the way.
Today was the day that I filed my paperwork to be a limited liability corporation. After careful research, I’ve decided that this is the best option for the business I’m going to have.
To file the paperwork, there were several options: fill out the papers and file them with my Secretary of State, call an attorney, or use one of the Internet filing services to handle it for me. I didn’t want to deal with an attorney’s fees, and I thought that most of the filing services were also too expensive.
I found what I’m hoping is a meet-in-the-middle situation. I went with AmeriLawyer, which is an online service that handles the paperwork, but is also done by actual attorneys. With all of the fees up front, I didn’t feel that I’d be getting screwed by a business lawyer, and I was able to only order the absolute basics.
Once I chose my business name, I filled in all the blanks and hopefully, I’ll be an LLC shortly. For now, I’m not recommending AmeriLawyer, but I’ll update this when I have reached a conclusion about their service.
I also downloaded several accounting programs today and will play around with them until I decide which one I like, then I’ll make a recommendation on that as well.
