This is a well done simple startup guide to help you start a business. And the choice of entity focu

I loved this book. It is basically a small business startup guide that focuses on choosing the LLC company structure. It could be used as a workbook to start your own business as an LLC. Even if you are planning to start a sole proprietorship or a corporation, this book still has substantial value for you. It is comprised of 18 chapters: * List of forms on CD * Introduction 1. Deciding to start business as an LLC 2. Business startup checklist 3. Developing a business plan 4. Developing a marketing plan 5. Developing a financial plan 6. Operating an LLC 7. LLC paperwork 8. Pre-organization activities 9. Articles of Organization 10. Operating Agreement 11. Members meetings 12. Amendments to Articles of Organization 13. Termination of LLC 14. Employee documents 15. Business financial recordkeeping 16. Business accounts 17. Business payroll 18. Taxation of LLC * State LLC information * Glossary of Terms The things I liked the most about the book include: (1) the business plan material included in chapters 2 through 4, (2) the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement material in chapters 9, 10, and 12, (3) the coverage of Taxation of LLC in Chapter 18, (4) the State LLC information, and (5) the Glossary. All these areas were covered well, but more research should be pursued on each topic in order to fully understand them. A call to your local SCORE chapter would probably prove to be helpful to you to learn more. Also, you may want to visit the free law library at your county courthouse and ask the law librarian to show you the form book regarding LLCs. Regarding the Business Startup Checklist, I would recommend that the preparation of your Operating Agreement, employee contracts, and Chart of Accounts should be done during the creation of your business plan. Doing these three tasks when the author suggests is a little late in the game in my humble opinion. Also, at page 62 I would have said that an Operating Agreement is only important if the LLC is going to have more than one member. And I found it a little confusing when the author describes and discusses business plans when he talks of an overall business plan that includes three plans: business, marketing and financial. Maybe the sub-plan should have been called an operations plan? I would have liked the book better if when financial plans for the business plan were discussed that there had been some coverage on cash flow statements. Cash flow is critically important for a small business - both in the planning stages and in the actual operating stages. 5 stars!

Great Book for those wanting to start a LLC by themselves!

I find this book to be one of the best on the subject of LLC's. I myself invest in real estate and run everything through my LLC's. This book has pretty much all you need for running your company, every single form is incredibly useful. I personally do not use the Residential/Commerical lease forms because I use my own and each state and cities within the state have different rental regulations and laws. I strongly disagree with Mr. Bingham's review about the CD-Rom because in the book on pages 9-12 contain a list of the forms found on the CD-Rom and which form lable goes with which topic. An example of this is:"Chapter 2: Business Start-Up Checklist"Form 1: Business Start-Up Checklist (text form)"The forms on the CD-Rom are in text and pdf format. I wonder if Mr. Bingham even opened the book because this is discussed at the beginning of the book with the "List of Forms-on-CD" section and throughout the rest of the book. I think this is a must have for those either considering forming a LLC for your business or running an existing one. This book is saving me a lot of time and effort and will do the same for you!
