Forming your small Inkster limited liability company online

Inkster,MI limited liability company, or a "Michigan LLC" is a business structure that fits somewhere between the partnership or sole proprietorship and the corporation. Like owners of partnerships or sole proprietorships, LLC owners report business profits or losses on their personal income tax returns. The Inkster LLC itself is not a separate taxable entity.

Like a corporation, all LLC owners are protected from personal liability for business debts and claims -- a feature known as "limited liability." This means that if the business owes money or faces a lawsuit, only the assets of the business itself are at risk. Creditors normally can not reach the personal assets of the LLC owners.

Experts say the LLC combines the best features of both the partnership and corporate business structures.

A few states require an additional step: Prior to filing your articles of organization, you must publish your intention to form an LLC in a local newspaper.

In most states, the only legal requirement is that you file "articles of organization" with Michigan's LLC filing office, which is usually part of the Secretary of State's office. (A few states refer to this organizational document as a "certificate of organization" or a "certificate of formation.") Most states provide a fill-in-the-blank form that takes just a few minutes to prepare. You can obtain the form by mail or download it from your state's website (check Michigan Secretary of State or corporations division home page).
