by Robert Montgomery
One of the most important reasons for forming any legal entity like an LLC or corporation is the liability protection. I don't need to tell you that a growing lawsuit epidemic is going on in the the United States and it only appears to be getting worse? Statistics reveal that 1000's of lawsuits are being filed each day in the US and small business owners are prime targets.
One expert said your chances of being sued are higher than your chances of going to the hospital this year? Starting a business only increases the risk.
One of the best ways for a small business owner to protect themselves is to operate their business through a properly formed entity like an LLC or corporation.
LLCs were initially authorized to provide a layer or shield of protection between the business and its owners. The number of LLCs being formed has grown dramatically as the number of lawsuits has increased years. The primary reason is protection.
Small business is great - it helps make dreams come true for many people and it can be your path to financial freedom, independence and success.
Along with the beneifts, it also brings with added risks.

It is very important when starting a business that you take the steps necessary to protect yourself as much as possible.
Obviously, you cannot eliminate all possible risks, but you can reduce the potential risk by the formation of the proper business entity and the purchase of liability or business insurance when available. Forming an LLC or corporation should be one of your first priorities.
