Frequently Asked Questions
Expert insights on business formation, compliance, and asset protection in Ohio.
How long does it take to form an LLC in Ohio?
Typically, the Ohio Secretary of State processes filings in 3-7 business days. We ensure your paperwork is correct the first time to avoid any costly delays.
Do I really need an Operating Agreement?
While not strictly mandatory for filing, an Operating Agreement is the primary document used to prove your “corporate veil” in court. We draft custom agreements to maximize your protection.
What is the best structure for my real estate business?
Most real estate investors prefer LLCs for liability protection, but we often discuss Series LLCs or trust structures depending on your specific goals and risk profile.
