Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: Starting an LLC business

A limited liability company with only one member is disregarded as an entity by default. If the LLC does not have employees, it does not need an Employer Identification Number (aka Federal Identification Number or Business ID). You can use your social security number for all purposes.

You do not need a lawyer to start the LLC. However, in order to be sure that your LLC is set up correctly and your business has all the licenses and permits it requires, it may be prudent to use one.

In any event, it pays to be knowledgeable about what is involved in forming and running an LLC. Check out my blog for articles on starting a business, in particular, you may be interested in this post: New York Limited Liability Companies FAQ: http://www.newyorksmallbusinesslaw.com/new_york_small_business_l/2006/08/how_to_form_a_n_1.html

If you need the advice of a lawyer, call my office. I offer reasonable flat fee packages for the formation of a limited liability company.

Re: Starting an LLC business

An attorney can assist you in avoiding pitfalls that you do not know exist. Also, the LLC is its own legal entity and needs its own EIN.

While it is not necessary to hire an attorney it is highly reccomended as there are certain procedures and forms that must be filed. In New York as an LLC you also need to consider the possibiliy of having your LLC published.
