Re: Limited Liability Corporation purchase
As an individual owner, you will have personal liability for any damage or injury that takes place, even if not your fault. Using a LLC will limit your possible liabilities to only those you cause by your negligence. As a one-man LLC you need only file a Schedule "C" as part of your annual tax return and all other benefits of individual ownership for taxes, etc., will flow to you. If you need assistance in creating the LLC or with your taxes, contact me directly.
