1) Wait until you know *for sure* the LLC has been formed--not just the name approved and paperwork in process--and you have also the tax ID number. Don't assume everything will in fact go through as it should2) When you sign the lease (and any other paperwork), sign as:"John Doe, Presidentfor Limited Liability Company, LLC"signing using your title, for the company.3) Also make sure that the LLC, not you, is listed as the party leasing the building. And use the LLC's tax idea number.4) Finally, be aware that if you sign any personal guaranties, that throws the LLC protection out the window...though some landlords will not lease w/out a personal guaranty, especially to a new company (i.e. one without significant assets or a track record).
