Description
AMERICA’S BEST LLC SELF-HELP LEGAL DOCUMENT SOFTWARE
Many business professionals believe LLCs present an attractive alternative to corporations and partnerships because LLCs combine many of the advantages of both: with an LLC, the members can have the corporate-like liability protection for their personal assets from business debt, while also enjoying the tax advantages of partnerships or “S” Corporations (i.e. elimination of dual taxation). The LLC has been compared to an “S” Corporation without the IRS’ restrictions. LLC’s allow for pass-through taxation (similar to that of partnerships and S Corporations).
CHOOSING THE PROPER CORPORATE STRUCTURE IS KEY!

CONSIDERATIONS FOR LLC FILING
An LLC is a business structure recognized by all 50 states and Washington, D.C. An LLC is a separate legal entity (as is a corporation). For money, property, expertise or “sweat equity” invested into the company, the LLC issues certificates or units that indicate the particular investor’s percentage of ownership in the business (compare to a corporation that issues shares of stock to its shareholders).
Some ADVANTAGES of forming a Limited Liability Company are:
– Provides protection of personal assets from business debts and other obligations;
– Profits/losses pass through to personal income tax returns of the members;
– Provides great flexibility in management and organization of the business;
– LLCs do not have the ownership restrictions of S Corporations, making them ideal business structures for “non-traditional” investors.
Some DISADVANTAGES of forming a Limited Liability Company are:
– LLCs often have a limited life (not to exceed 30 years in some states)
– LLCs are not corporations and therefore do not have stock, thereby creating some difficulty in both the transfer of ownership of the company and/or the distribution of benefits.
INCLUDED IN THE LLC SOFTWARE PACKAGE
The Standard Legal LLC package includes the Articles of Organization and all of the other state-specific legal forms required for filing with the secretary of state, and the up-to-date instructions required to create a Limited Liability Company.
The LLC title also includes three different types of Operating Agreements:
– Multi-Member MEMBER-Managed Operating Agreement;
– Multi-Member MANAGER-Managed Operating Agreement;
– Sole Member Operating Agreement
Offering three different Operating Agreements allows the members of the LLC to clearly define the roles of each investor/member in managing and operating the business, and how profits will be disbursed.
The package also includes a LLC Unit Certificate template that can be completed and provided to each member of the LLC, showing the number of “units” (like shares) that are held by that member.
And the content also includes a template for the LLC’s Minutes of the Meeting of the Members, to allow for detailed record-keeping as it relates to the ongoing decisions made by the Member owners as they related to the operation of the LLC. Additionally, there is a Written Action of the Members form to outline resolutions of the LLC.
In addition to the required forms and instructions, a detailed examination of a variety of business structures is provided, so that the members creating the LLC can make certain that an LLC structure is the best for their business situation.

SYSTEM, SOFTWARE AND FILE USE REQUIREMENTS:
Standard Legal software works on virtually all Windows, Apple, Macintosh, Android and Linux-based PCs, laptops, tablets and mobile devices.
Generally, the legal forms are provided as Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF files with fillable form fields. Not all forms are provided in both formats in all cases. SOFTWARE FORMATS + SAMPLES >
A full-featured version of Microsoft Word is one option to complete the Word-formatted documents. FREE open-source word processing programs like OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, etc. may work as well.
Use the FREE Adobe Reader to complete and print the PDF document files. It is best to use the most up-to-date version of Reader; see ‘Help > Check for Updates’ in the program’s menu to get the latest version. It is CRITICAL that Reader ALWAYS be used as a stand-alone program or mobile app and NEVER within a web browser.
Links to a downloadable .zip file are presented immediately upon the completion of your order. This .zip must be expanded to access the PDF files. Most computers have an expansion program like WinZip pre-installed; if your computer does not we recommend StuffIt Expander (it’s FREE!). Once the file is downloaded, all documents within can be completed offline, no internet connection required. Read the START-HERE.txt file included in the initial download for more instructions.
Access links to the downloadable .zip file and/or the online forms server for this title are available for one (1) year after the date of purchase, upon request. Files downloaded and saved to a device may be used without time limit, but new downloads are no longer accessible one year after the date of purchase. A discount code is available to past customers by email to make a new or updated purchase.

Rodolfo Yela, Executive Director, The Five Cities Marathon –
I bought Standard Legal’s Limited Liability Company software online in January. I filled out the forms and got all of the documents signed by the members to file the LLC in the State of California. I had some questions and you provided excellent service. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
