Should You Get An LLC - Decision Worksheet

"Should I form an LLC?" is the wrong first question. The right one is: does an LLC actually make sense for your risk, your income, and how serious you are? This free, fillable guide walks you through that decision in three quick steps. Then runs the S-Corp math so you know if the tax savings are real.

Instantly download our LLC Decision Guide and stop guessing. Instead of generic advice, you'll assess your own situation, see exactly which path fits, and avoid the timing traps that cost new owners a full year of tax savings.

What You Will Receive:

* A high-quality, fillable PDF, available for immediate download - completely free.
* An interactive worksheet you can type directly into on your computer, or print and fill in by hand.

What's Inside The Guide:

* A 3-Factor Situation Assessment that sizes up your liability, income, and how serious you are - so the recommendation fits YOUR business, not a stranger's.
* A Decision Table that maps your situation to a clear answer: stay a sole proprietor, form an LLC, or form an LLC and elect S-Corp - each with the exact next step.
* A Timing Traps Checklist covering the March 15 S-Corp deadline, the retroactive-protection gap, the "wrong state" mistake, and the maintenance that keeps your LLC valid.
* The S-Corp Math Worksheet - a 7-line calculator that compares your self-employment tax now vs. with an S-Corp election, minus payroll and filing costs, so you see your real net annual benefit.
* Fill-in fields for your decision and revisit date, so you can commit now or set a clear checkpoint for later.

Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or your browser to type your answers right into the blue fields, or print it and work through it with a pen. Perfect for anyone deciding whether to form an LLC, sole proprietors wondering if it's time to level up, and growing businesses weighing the S-Corp election.
