Learn: the unique legal features of LLCs, including limited personal liability for owners; who should--and who shouldn't--form an LLC; when to choose an LLC instead of a corporation, partnership, or other business form; how LLCs are taxed; how to manage multiple-owner LLCs, and why an LLC can be the right choice even for a debt-troubled business.
