mūdi asked:


Asides from the fact that it shields you from personal liability, what are the benefits of an LLC?

Can’t a general partnership write-off the business expenses etc?

Thanks in advance!

Joe asked:


I have a friend who is running a catering business. Right now it is just a sole propriatorship with no employees. She’s been thinking of becomming an LLC, but isn’t sure if it is the best option for her or not. An LLC, LLP and S Corp all seem very similar, what’s the difference between them?

Jessica asked:


I am applying for jobs and most ask to disclose if you have been convicted of an offense such as driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence. I have had the DUI expunged off my record since 2006. Do I have to disclose that information on the application?

If it was a sole membership LLC, and someone wanted to give me money to get it going, would I need to have this person sign something to show where the funds came from? Would these funds be taxable?
It would be a gift.

C asked:


I am currently renting a property in my name and will be creating an LLC. Once created, the tenant will be instructed to pay the LLC.

What should the Assignment of Lease form state that will be given to the tenant?

Are there any sample forms available?
I searched the internet, but am not clear since most samples seem to be between two parties. Or do I need to consider myself and my LLC as two parties??

Thanks!
