Form a California LLC in 10 minutes for $70
Maybe I’m biased but, this is one of those times where the advice is just enough to get you into trouble.No mention of single member vs multi-member LLC, and lack of certain liability protections with single member LLCs.  Most people will have expectation of liability protection, and those single member LLCs may be surprised to find the assets of their single member LLC at risk for their personal liabilities.No mention of tax treatment, by default single member LLC is pass through (no need to file separate federal return), but can elect to be taxed as a Corporation or S-Corporation.  No mention multi-member is taxed by default as a partnership but can elect tax treatment as Corporation or S-Corporation.No mention of an Operating Agreement, which is the controlling document; therefore, without one the LLC is governed by California Code.  These issues are of great importance, example: you may have a partner and the death of the partner may result in dissolution of the LLC or maybe having a new, unwanted partner(s) (spouse and/or heirs of the deceased partner), but without the operating agreement California Law will dictate.
