Avoiding Common LLC Mistakes: Insights for Entrepreneurs

In this episode of Become Sensible, we tackle some of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make when setting up and managing an LLC. If you’ve ever wondered how to avoid common LLC mistakes, this episode is a must-listen.

Are you:

  • Confused about the difference between member-managed and manager-managed LLCs?
  • Overlooking the importance of a separate business bank account with your EIN?
  • Unsure about the correct way to handle LLC distributions, tax filing, or reimbursement?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. The critical distinction between member-managed and manager-managed LLCs and why it matters.

  5. Why establishing an LLC when purchasing property can be a game changer for tax strategies.

  • The importance of keeping your business finances separate by opening a business bank account connected to your EIN.
  • The dangers of not having clear, discretionary distribution rules in your operating agreement, which can affect your personal legal protection.
  • Essential tips on ensuring your LLC is correctly taxed, whether it’s treated as a partnership, S corporation, or C corporation.
  • Practical advice on proper reimbursement for business expenses to keep your finances in check.

    Plus, we’ll discuss common compliance issues like missing officer appointment provisions and how these oversights can have long-term consequences on your business’s financial health.
