CROWN POINT BUSINESS ATTORNEY

Since 1993, the state of Indiana has recognized limited liability companies (LLCs) under the Indiana Business Flexibility Act. Because this entity offers limited liability, the personal assets of the owners, referred to as members, are protected from lawsuit settlements and debts from the business. Unlike a corporation, the gains, losses, income and deductions from the LLC will be passed down to the members. In the state of Indiana it is also possible to form an LLC with only one member. Members are considered self-employed and must pay toward Medicare and Social Security. Kent A. Jeffirs, Attorney at Law, PC can help determine if creating an LLC is the best option for you.

While you wait to receive a Certificate of Organization, I can prepare an Operating Agreement. Your operating agreement will dictate how the LLC will be run, with provisions regarding the management and operation of the LLC.
