Don't go lite on liability insurance, also get an umbrella policy.

@Reece O'Bryan,I would urge you to look at the bigger picture before forming and operating under an LLC.I believe it was Jay Hinrich that recently wrote a piece on LLC formation and utilization that I wish I had read before forming our LLC.Basically he said unless you have significant amounts of assets to protect your wasting a lot of time and money with LLC formation and maintenance.Also some banks will automatically classify you as a commercial borrower thus eliminating you from conventional lower cost loans available to individuals and maybe not the LLC entity.That's what happened in our case,keeping us from taking advantage of conventional lower cost loans.We had assets to protect but could have done it by borrowing against the property and an umbrella liability policy without the the hassle of the LLC.Bottom line is their are more effective ways to protect your interests other than a LLC and its consequences.Do more and better homework than I did and you may save yourself some money and headache.Good luck in whatever you decide

What BoA recognizes is Trusts instead, but I'm not quite sure if that offers similar asset protection like an LLC.Let me know your thoughts Matt/David, as what it means imo is ensuring one gets an adequate umbrella policy/coverage. - Eli
