Most entrepreneurs I know are team LLC.
And that’s a smart move for a lot of people just getting started.

If you’re at the stage where you’re thinking about:

→ Starting an LLC the right way

You can absolutely reach out to your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) — they’ll guide you through the DIY process.
