LLC for a cleaning business

You work in other people's homes and offices, so a broken vase or a slip is a real risk. An LLC keeps that risk with the business rather than your personal assets.

An LLC doesn't replace insurance

Clients and commercial buildings often ask for general liability insurance, and some ask for a bond. An LLC protects what you own personally, but only insurance pays the claim.

What else you may need

A local business license in many cities, an EIN if you hire anyone, and a business bank account. We can research which licenses apply where you work.

Questions

Can I run it under a different name?

Yes. Register a DBA if you want to trade under a name that isn't your LLC's legal name.
