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:

Massachusetts boasts some of the finest institutes of higher education, and has the third highest median household income in the USA. So, with a well-trained workforce and money to spend, Massachusetts is a very attractive home to small businesses.

And, though Massachusetts has a reputation for higher taxes, a voter referendum meant that corporate income tax was set to fall to 8% by 2012, and income tax will eventually reach a flat 5%. Local taxes vary, but Massachusetts is making an effort to turn itself into a more small business friendly state. Massachusetts also maintains a network of small business training centers, which helps educate small business owners and gives them the opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs in their industry.
