Why form a Mississippi LLC?
The main advantage to forming a Mississippi LLC would be to separate your personal assets from your business assets, by doing this you protect your personal assets from any debts or legal obligations that may be intended for the LLC.
Form a Mississippi Limited Liability Company and Control Risk
When you form a Mississippi LLC it greatly reduces the risk to the members of an LLC. The members of the LLC are the owners. Therefore if the LLC has an outstanding debt, the members of the LLC are not responsible for it, but rather the LLC itself is responsible, or when an LLC is sued, the individual members of the LLC are not.
Helpful hints in naming your LLC
Every Mississippi Limited Liability Company name contains the words "limited liability company," or must contain the abbreviation "LLC". The LLC name must not contain the word corporation or incorporated or the abbreviation of those words. The name may not contain a word or phrase that would otherwise confuse the public about its legal business purpose. Every LLC name must be distinguishable upon the records in the Office of the Secretary of State from the name of any other legal entity formed or reserved in the state of Mississippi. Use of punctuation, spaces, special characters, or capitalization will be ignored in determining whether or not a name is distinguishable.
Business Debts - Who is Liable?
When every step is taken to ensure that the LLC is in compliance with all laws, the LLC is a separate legal entity from its members. If the LLC has a debt it cannot pay or someone decides to sure the LLC, the company itself is held responsible, rather than the members. Other types of business entities such as sole-proprietorships or partnerships are not afforded this piece of mind when conducting business.
