 The best book I've read on LLC's!Apr 21, 2008
By onederin
I recently formed an LLC and wished I had read this book first, it would have saved me a lot of wasted time and money. It really is light years ahead of the other similar books I purchased both in information provided, and in the easy to read way it's presentated. What I especially like about it is everything is put into the proper context and all the dots are connected in a way that really helps the reader make sense of how a LLC should fit into their total business plan... I can't recommend this book enough.

a must readAug 04, 2008

We are in the process of becoming a LLC and I bought the book hoping for some answers in one syllable or less. This is a must read book for anyone thinking of forming a LLC. It answered all my questions and brought up some questions I need to ask my lawyer. I have had it only a couple of months and have read it twice and will probably refer to it again. It gives the lay person insite into the LLC and helps you answer questions about forming maintaining and ending a LLC.You need to read this before going any further into organizing a LLC. It also gives you alternatives to a LLC too. The version with the CD rom with it provides current forms that need to be filed with each state which is a plus.

Great introduction to LLCs!Jan 19, 2009
By Sean C.
I ordered this book after thinking about starting a real estate rental company. I've looked around at other books and read a bunch of reviews, and so far I've found this one to be the best introductory book that isn't half-filled with standard forms and filler (those forms come on the included CD).
The book specifically suggests how to form an LLC for real estate businesses, so it was perfect for me. The author goes on to say that everyone should form an LLC to protect their assets from personal lawsuits (which, while expensive in some states, not a bad idea). The chapters are self contained and cross referenced so you can jump around to what's pertinent to you, and it's easy to jump from setting up ownership (chapter 2) to how to cancel membership shares (chapter 10).
The only thing that could be better about the book is more information on state-specific laws and regulations. There's an appendix section on different state fees and franchise taxes, but that's about it.
It's easy to read and things are put in layman's terms, but that's not to say it's dumbed-down. If you own a small business or are thinking of starting one, buy this book. It's definitely worth the price and the time it takes to read.
Oh, and buy a highlighter!

An absolute must-read for anyone forming an LLCDec 16, 2008
By R. McClard
This guide is clear, concise and an absolute must-read for those starting an LLC.
Before I picked up this book I was completely in the dark, but for every question I had there was a simple and easy to understand answer.
I've recommended to several friends that are thinking of starting businesses in the New Year.

Very useful!Dec 21, 2008
By YasVO
Great guide on setting up an LLC. It's very thorough, very useful, and I am so thankful that I read through this before diving in. The book addresses a lot of my concerns and also brings up points that I didn't even know I should be thinking about. Great guide - in fact, I find most of the Dummies series to be useful.
