There are plenty of benefits to setting up an LLC for consulting. Whether you are looking for personal liability protection or tax flexibility, you won't miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits you can have when you set up your LLC.
An LLC is an entirely separate entity that helps protect your personal assets from business liabilities, for example. You can also decide whether you want to be taxed as a sole proprietorship or corporation. Depending on how you are taxed, the benefits for you will differ.
