An LLC may not be the best option for that. Check out https://www.murthy.com/2014/01/28/home-based-businesses-inadvertent-unauthorized-employment/ Share this post Link to post

JoeF 7 Report post Posted July 25, 2018 There are several different company forms. Which one is best depends on a lot of factors. My thought here was just how to make sure that she would be a passive member. Share this post Link to post
