Frequently Asked Questions
I run a one-person business. Do I really need an LLC, or is a sole proprietorship enough?
A sole proprietorship gives zero liability protection: if a client sues, your personal savings and home equity are exposed. An Illinois LLC puts a legal wall between business and personal assets when you maintain the formalities, and it's inexpensive to form with pass-through taxation. Adam also drafts the operating agreement, which matters even for a single-member LLC to show the entity is separate from you and keep the shield intact.
Why do so many suburban small businesses end up in expensive disputes with co-owners?
Most trace back to a missing or generic owner agreement. Owners form the LLC or corporation but skip the operating or shareholder agreement that actually governs decisions, money, ownership transfers, and what happens if someone wants out or becomes disabled. Adam drafts clear, customized agreements that prevent those conflicts before they start.
