Limited Liability Company
When I form my corporation or LLC, is that a license?
No, but thanks for asking a weird question. You’re likely getting confused with some industries, like talent management, that may require you to obtain a license from a particular state agency. The formation of the entity doesn’t trigger automatic licensure, nor does it automatically require you to get a license for your business. Licensure for your business is separate and apart from forming an entity. And, in some instances, if you are required to obtain a license, that may dictate the kind of entity your form.
Will putting my personal residence into an LLC protect it from my creditors?
Sorry, but . . . LOL – no. People do try this, though. The purpose of an LLC, and therefore what it ultimately protects, by law, is the business that’s operating inside it. Unless you have turned your personal residence into a business (not really a personal residence anymore), then it’s not protectable this way. However, one of the main reasons people put their business into an LLC is to protect their personal assets, like their home. Nice try, though.
