creating an llc can save you thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars and a ton of headache down the road if you're a startup small business or a newer entrepreneur you should really think about creating an llc or you already are and you want to know the exact steps on creating one don't worry i got you covered in today's video yo yo yo what is up guys it's your boy faris and in today's video is going to be a little different from what i normally post because i get asked a ton of questions about llcs so i'm going to go over what an llc means the benefits of having one and how to obtain an ein number and walk you through step by step on how to easily create an llc on your own in under 10 minutes for free so what does an llc stand for it stands for a limited liability corporation now this is just a big fancy word for saying protection all you're doing is creating a separate entity for your business now you might be asking why create a separate entity why can't you just start a business and go from there well let's say you start a business under your personal name everything will be going well and then one day you get hit with the fat lawsuit in the mail saying they're coming after everything you own because you use your personal name on the business that means all the assets you own are liable so your home your car and everything else you own they can come and take those from you so the smart thing to do is create an llc with an llc if someone were to come sue you they can't come after your home or your cars they can only sue and come after what the business owns hence the name limited liability is only limited to what the business owns so since your business most likely doesn't own your home you don't have to worry about sleeping on the streets not only do you get the protection but you get a bunch of tax advantages that come with having an llc so good old uncle sam can't take all your money with an llc you're allowed to reduce your taxable income and write off business expenses so let's say you have a business and it's an llc and you make fifty thousand dollars in a year and you have to spend thirty thousand dollars on various expenses such as labor internet office cars etc you can deduct those expenses which would bring down your total taxable income now i'm not going to go too in depth on this because it can get pretty technical and i'm no expert on this stuff but there are a ton of youtube videos you guys can watch on different write-offs loopholes and all that fun stuff but you're here to see how you can set up an llc and get your ein number so let's dive into it and show you how you can easily set it up in under 10 minutes for free also before we get into it if you guys want to follow along step by step which i highly recommend i put the link to the exact page i'm going to be using down the description box below make sure you use that one as there are plenty of sketchy websites out there trying to take advantage of your personal information so just follow along with the link down below alright so setting up an llc once you're on this page the first thing i do is click start my business now this will open up a new tab you're going to choose entity type now this is what type of business do you want to create is an llc s corporation c corporation non-profit whatever you want to do you can just choose it and they'll handle everything for you but for this case we're going to be choosing an llc and you're going to also choose your stay of formation all right once you choose the type of business in the state you're in you're going to choose your package so going into the silver one this is the cheapest one and this is a very good option as well it's free all you have to do is state fees and you get all your paperwork so this is pretty much saying you get everything you need in terms of an llc you get unlimited name searches and you get free registered agent service for a year now if you want to go up to the gold package this is going to cost you 149 or 303 total now this is gonna include all your paperwork unlimited name searches uh free agent service so pretty much everything you get all these three things in the silver package but you also get all these extra stuff you get an ein business tax number which you guys can pay for if you want or i'll i'm going to be showing you how to get it for free as well so just stay around for that as well or like i said you get if you guys want the easy route you guys can pay for and they'll take care before you you can get the form 255.3 and you can get all these extra stuff as well and for those of you that want to go for the platinum package um it's pretty much everything here and i think you get a couple more stuff but um look at what it includes and see which one works best for you usually people end up going with the gold option if you want to go the free route then silver is the way to go all you have to do is pay the state fees so for this purposes i'm just going to go with the gold package as this is what a lot of people usually end up going with so you're just going to hit get the gold package and this is where you're going to put in all your contact information so i'm just going to put in my information over here once you have put in your contact information and your mailing address you're just going to hit next from here and it's going to pull up a suggested address i usually end up going with the suggested one so you're just going to hit use address and now this is going to pull up your state filing time so you have two options you can go with the traditional time so each state usually varies in how long it takes for them to file that llc so for me illinois is about three weeks so usually usually ends up coming back a lot faster so you can you guys can take that into consideration but if you guys are in a rush and need it faster you guys can get the one business day filing time it's 152 or if you guys want to go the free route you can just do three weeks usually like i said it's a lot faster i'm just gonna go with three weeks for this purpose all right now it's going to ask for your company information now this is where you're going to put in your llc name so for this example i'm just going to go with best accounting services for the designator it's going to ask you what type of ending do you want so do you want l.l.c llc limited liability company so i'm just going to go with llc and this is what it's going to look like as business type it's going to vary for what type of business you're doing but i'm just going to go with accountant number of members and owners usually for the people that's creating llc always starts with one but if you have multiple owners or members you guys can choose how many over here you're just gonna then provide a small business purpose so like a description of what your business does so for this example i'm just going to say we provide tax services for people taxes it doesn't have to be anything crazy it could be very simple it's just like you know it's just a little purpose for for them to know next you're going to enter your keywords for your busin

Thanks for your comment Shu Battersby, have a nice day.

what's good it's creative here back with another vid d oh so guys today i'm gonna be talking about how you can get your llc for free using inkfile.com i'm literally gonna take you from start to finish i'm gonna make i already filed for my llc but i'm gonna go make mike jones llc so you guys can see the entire process and stick around to the end because i'm gonna tell you what to expect after you file with ink file and what you can expect and what you need to do on your end to make sure that everything goes smoothly and that you're not wasting your time so thank you guys for watching and let's get into the video so what happens is you get to the ink file home page it's the first thing here it says launch my business you click on launch my business it's going to take you to the first page of the process um so the entity type like we said we're talking about llc so we're going to change the entity type to llc and the state formation of state of formation i'm in new york so we are going to choose new york all right so now you see i told you it was free and it is free and i want to talk to you about what it means to be free to register your llc so the silver package is the free package which is zero dollars now you see the state fee is 205 dollars for new york state new york state is on the high end so no matter who what service you go through no matter what you want to do you are you have to pay your state fee there's no way around it trust me i did a lot of research but you have to pay your state fee what is free is the process of forming your llc so like the gold package is 149 i checked the lingua legal zoom i think their lowest package was seventy five dollars to to format your llc so ink files like you're doing it for a hundred percent free so while it says 205 dollars here you're not paying for any fees for the services so it's free i took a list i made a list of states that we're just going to go with the silver package but like if you live in states like arizona iowa arkansas kentucky colorado michigan hawaii mississippi missouri montana new mexico your state fees are under 50 so it's really not bad and then if you live in california in a few other states they're under a hundred [ __ ] that's not good so now what you need to do is i recommend that you have your ein before you file for your llc um it's super simple you can get it like pretty much instantly um and the they're like charging you seventy dollars where you can get the ein for free so for me i mean for your state obviously like i said i'm basing this on new york state you would just put ein for whatever your state is nys is just short for ny state um you would it takes you to the government website and it's just really simple for you to go through and create ein for free so don't pay a service to do that all this stuff i said no things i would pass on this opportunity because again i'm teaching you how to do this for free so i'm gonna be the only member of this llc so which is nice you can just click on this information and it pre-loads it for you so like i said it's important to enter your information correctly the first time so that you can go through this process smoothly so yeah so we're going to go ahead and save and we're going to hit next because i'm mike jones is going to be the 100 owner so for the register agent so let me talk to you guys about what a registered agent is a registered agent receives and forwards important legal and tax correspondence on the behalf of the company so if you have something like god forbid you had something happen and someone tried to sue you or whatever you don't want to be responsible and again i'm not telling you what to do i'm just telling you what i've done in my experience i don't want to be responsible to have to handle that kind of stuff so for inkfile they will give you um be a registered agent free for the first year that gives you time to get your money up so if you do need to pay for a registered agent or if you you learn more after the fact and decide that you want to be your own registered agent or you get a accountant or whatever you can change that but for the first year they give you the service for free so i chose to use their free service for the register agent all right so now this part is where you get to the ein partner so this is where like i said you need to have your ein prior to doing this um so that you don't have to pay the 70 dollars for something that's literally free um so you say no i don't need inc file to obtain my ein so we can continue this to be a free service and like i said your ein is pretty much like your business social security number um so after this um this is like they're giving you an offer to set up a business bank account through bank of america i personally am not going to use them because they charge monthly fees i did find a bank that did not charge monthly fees i'm not going to say which bank but ultimately i think you should do your research on that to find a business bank account that's going to work for your needs um so i just selected not at this time and continued on with the process okay so i did electronic delivery again that's free as long as you make sure you like i said enter your information properly the first time you'll get get it directly to your email and they'll send you other correspondence that's actually really helpful and not just like annoying mail that you have to unsubscribe from um so the free tax consultation i selected yes for this it was free 30 minutes that they set up and there a number is going to call you um let me see if i can have the phone number here still it was uh i think it was from bountiful utah it was a 385 number that's the number that called me to set up that tax consultation so if you see that number answer the phone very very helpful um it really answered a lot of my questions because my llc is going to be for a business um econ business interior design and for my youtube channel so they answered a lot of questions that i had so it was really really really great and it's free all right so let's see here yes so now this is they're letting you know that you need two other licenses for your state um to do business now this part um again i wouldn't pay them to do it because this literally cost like i think it cost me like 19 18 to get my business license and a few other things so again this is state specific so look into what your state requires for you to run a business and don't let me don't just go off what i'm telling you about filing your llc so again this is to get it for free so we're going to skip over this and say no thanks i'll work on it myself all right so at this point you're pretty much there like literally you want to make sure again make sure a hundred percent that the information that you put here is correct because once you file for your llc you cannot change it and with the service is great they give you 24 hours after filing to go over the information make sure everything is correct and if you need to go back and change something you have 24 hours to do so all right and here we are we're at the final page of the proces
