LLC Formation in the Economic Downturn

Posted on Tuesday 26 May 2009

The economic downturn has been an obstacle for most individuals. However, some have used it as an opportunity to rethink their business options and form new alliances. In the drive to reboot their economies, various state governments (in conjunction with the federal government) offer a host of incentives to create new businesses and sustainable employment. One of these initiatives is the promotion of the formation of LLCs.

Government Support
The US stimulus packages have trumpeted an era of low interest rates. The Federal Reserve has reduced interest rates to almost 0% with favorable payment mechanism to reduce stress on the investors. The aim of this is to boost investment and give consumers an impression that the economy is turning around. One way they give this impression is offer business start-up loans to people who will open LLCs.

Choosing to form LLC\s
LLCs provide a great framework for any entrepreneur to operate in these troubled times. The LLCs provide limited liability protection from any debt, legal activity or other obligations that the organization may incur. This framework is critical now more than ever due to the uncertainties in the market place. Many states also offer additional incentives to LLC owners such as the ability to:

• Have unlimited number of members in the LLC to boost financing
• Register a LLC even if you operate outside of the state
• Source financial support from government agencies
• Acquire relaxed penalties from the IRS
• Access 24hr online and call in services to give advice to investors
• Have unlimited life to the LLC even if a member should resign or die

Ease of Documentation
To make it as easy as possible for entrepreneurs to incorporate their LLC, state boards have opened up several avenues that process these application. These include outpost offices, independent contractors, the internet and more accommodating offices.
