    Does my business need to be financially self-sufficient before becoming an LLC?

    How much money does your business need to be making before it’s time to become an LLC? Can you create an LLC if you aren’t financially stable? Watch this video to learn! The short answer is that financial self-sufficiency isn’t a legal requirement to become an LLC. But the LLC DOES need enough money to survive. To do that, you’ll do two things: -make sure the LLC starts off with 3-6 months of expenses in your accounts -only pay yourself when the LLC accounts have enough to cover the regular expenses Curious what other tasks you should be doing now you are an LLC?
