In this episode of the Sunlight Podcast, I'm unpacking some of the biggest myths I hear about forming an LLC. If you're self-employed or thinking about business formation, it's so important to understand what an LLC really is—and what it isn't. I talk through common misconceptions about taxes, liability protection, whether an LLC makes you a "real" legal entity, and how much ongoing accounting or paperwork is actually needed.
I also share why business insurance is still essential (yes, even if you have an LLC), and how good financial advice can help you make smart choices for your business. Plus, I give a sneak peek at my upcoming book, Taxes for Humans, where I go even deeper into LLCs, business structures, and all the stuff no one teaches you when you become self-employed.
00:00 Introduction to LLC Myths
04:43 Myth 1: LLCs Change Your Taxes
08:28 Myth 2: LLCs Make Your Business Official
10:25 Myth 3: LLCs Are the Only Protection
13:12 Myth 4: LLCs Are Set It and Forget It
