Don’t Be So Quick to Form an LLC!

Welcome to our latest video where we dive deep into the common misconceptions surrounding the formation of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), particularly for California-based businesses.

Many entrepreneurs rush into forming an LLC, often believing that out-of-state registrations can help dodge California's franchise fees. However, this strategy may not only be ineffective but could also lead to unnecessary expenses and complications. In this detailed discussion, we explain why forming an LLC prematurely—or outside your operating state—might not be the cost-saving strategy you think it is. Tax specialists Stephen Morris and Diana Tang cover the realities of California franchise taxes, the implications of forming LLCs in states like Nevada or Delaware, and why these moves often don't pan out as planned for California residents. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or an established business owner thinking of restructuring, this video is packed with essential insights that could save you from making costly errors. We break down the legal and financial considerations you need to keep in mind before jumping into forming an LLC, especially if you're operating in California. Don't miss out on this opportunity to get informed and make smarter business decisions.

Watch now to understand the full picture and avoid the common pitfalls of LLC formation.

Stephen Morris, CPA, MBT, CCIM

As a CPA, my background has been almost entirely focused on the real estate industry since my start in public accounting back in 2005. Over the past 10 years, I’ve also been a real estate developer, where I completed numerous projects in the city of LA, primarily ground up apartment buildings. I am also a licensed real estate broker in the state of California.

I love to help people out with their tax and operational problems and coach clients and colleagues on best practices to increase their wealth through real estate investment strategies.
