Frequently Asked Questions About LLC Formation

  • Why should I form an LLC instead of a sole proprietorship?

     An LLC offers liability protection, meaning your personal assets are generally shielded from business debts or lawsuits. It also provides flexibility in taxation and ownership structure.


  • Do I need an attorney to form an LLC in Illinois?

     While you can file basic documents yourself, an attorney ensures everything is legally sound, customized, and protects your interests—especially if you have partners or long-term plans.

  • What’s included in your LLC formation service?

    We handle name checks, Articles of Organization, EIN application, Operating Agreement drafting, and guidance on business licenses or tax registration, if applicable

  • Can an LLC be part of an estate or special needs plan?

     Yes. LLCs are often used to hold family assets or manage special needs trusts. We help integrate your business structure with your long-term legal and financial planning.


  • How long does it take to form an LLC?

     In most cases, we can complete and file everything within a few business days. We also monitor state processing times to keep your launch on track.
