Legal Question in Business Law in Connecticut

I am thinking of starting a busines that offers Wellness, including Reiki, to people. Services would be offered in my home as well as client locations. Would an LLC offer me any personal protection over a d/b/a formation? I would be the sole member of the LLC. Would the answer be different if I offered no services in my home?

Generally speaking, an LLC offer limited liability while being a sole proprietor (a.k.a. DBA) offers none. There are also tax and business advantages such as being able to sell the business, add partners and employ others. Your question about your home is very good and very relevant. If you own your home then you should protect your assets as much as possible and creating an LLC would offer some protection I highly encourage you to seek the advice of a startup attorney.

Please contact my office at your earliest convenience for assistance in this matter. I offer a flat low fee for entity formations.
