Illinois LLC

We'll file all your documents with the secretary of state

When you file an LLC ( Limited Liability Company ) with the secretary of state, you gain the advantages of limited liability for the entity's debts and obligations. An LLC combines aspects of partnerships and corporations, so it is less formal and more flexible than a typical corporation, yet offers protection and advantages that are almost the same.

State Information:

For years Illinois was seen as a very tax-friendly state , with a flat income tax of only 3%, small business and workers could keep much more of their income. Unfortunately, the corporate income tax rate was increased from 7.3% all the way up to 9.5%. But, while these increases have understandably angered business owners in Illinois, they are set to reduce automatically in three years, and may be removed due to the fallout Illinois experienced after the increase was enacted.

Illinois is still a great state to start a business thanks to Chicago, one of the most financially active cities in America, and its position as a major transportation hub.
