Are you ready to setup a California limited liability company?

Why not get going right now? You'll save time and money setting up your llc by using one of my do-it-yourself California llc kits. You'll immediately reduce your business or investment risk. And you'll probably begin saving thousands of dollars a year in taxes.

Don't make the mistake of thinking you can't use the do-it-yourself approach. You don't need to pay $300 or more to fill out a simple one page form that asks for bits of information like your name and address and the name you want to use for your new California limited liability company. Heck, the form only provides a couple of opportunities for you to goof things up--and the kit makes sure you avoid those errors!

Special Bonus: Sample LLC Operating Agreements
Another benefit of going the do-it-yourself route. All of the do-it-yourself kits include both a single member (one owner) and multiple member (multiple owners) operating agreement. Get going even faster by using one of these sample operating agreements as your starting point!
