What is an LLC? And why do people make a big deal about LLCs?

722 viewsOther

I’m a drone pilot who just got his license (Part 107). I’ve done some shots and gigs for friends but as I am looking into possibly venturing out on my own as a business I keep getting told that it’d be good to be an LLC. Every time I look into it I just get inundated with technical terms. Just wanted someone to really simplify it for me so I can know where I stand. Thanks so much!

In very short.

If you do business and something happens the business is responsible. For example your drone crashes and falls into a wedding cake worth thousands of dollars. Currently you are the business so you are fully liable for any damages.

An LLC creates a legal person. It doesn’t really exist but for the law it does. Now if there are damages this legal person is responsible as it is the business. You still would want to pay for the wedding cake damages, but if there are anything massive which you simply can’t pay and would bankrupt over, the only thing that is going bankrupt is your business and the legal person. You basically were just an employee that gets out with all your private assets unharmed.
