About the Authors

The Do-It-Yourself LLC Kit: Alaska limited liability company documents were written by Stephen L. Nelson, CPA. A CPA for twenty-five years, Nelson holds an MBA in Finance from the University of Washington and an MS in Taxation from Golden Gate University. Nelson is the author of numerous best-selling books about accounting and finance including Quicken for Dummies (which sold more than 1,000,000 copes) and QuickBooks for Dummies (which sold more than 500,000 copies). He's also taught llc and S corporation taxation to accountants and attorneys from around the United States in the graduate tax school at Golden Gate University, the nation's largest tax school

The sample operating agreements included in the Do-It-Yourself Limited Liability Formation kits were written by Carl Baranowski. An attorney for two-plus decades, Baranowski has worked both as an in-house corporate counsel and as practicing attorney, serving both private and public real estate and high technology companies. Baranowski holds an MBA and JD from Stanford University as well as two master's degrees and a bachelor's degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A member of both the Florida Bar and the Texas Bar, he's also the co-author of the popular legal reference, Representing High-Tech Companies (Law Journal Press, 2006).

Do You Know For Sure You Want An S Corporation?

An affiliated web site, S Corporation Setup Explained, describes S corporations in detail and provides do-it-yourself kits for setting up S corporations, including the Do-It-Yourself Kit: Alaska S Corporation Setup. You may want to check out this other instruction kit if you know for sure that you want to setup an S corporation.

A Final Point: Would you Prefer a Traditional Corporation?

For all the reasons given here, in my opinion, most small businesses and investors should use a limited liability company rather than a traditional corporation. However, some entrepreneurs and investors don't like to use the words and acronyms such as "limited liability" or "LLC" in their business name (often for marketing reasons). Rather, these business men and women prefer the words and acronyms like "corporation," "incorporated," "corp," "inc." and so forth.

If you're not so sure about using a limited liability company, or LLC, for your business, you should know that another afiliated web site which I've set up, Fast Easy Incorporation Kits, sells do-it-yourself incorporation kits for setting up a traditional-style corporation. Those kits include discussions of how corporations are treated for tax purposes and a description of the steps for making a subchapter S election for a traditional-style corporation. Accordingly, if you don't want to use a limited liability company as the platform for your subchapter S corporation, consider instead purchasing the Do-It-Yourself Alaska Incorporation Kit: Incorporating in Alaska.
