Before You Get Started:

Understand what an LLC is: An LLC is a type of business structure that provides liability protection for its owners. This means that if the business were to ever face a lawsuit or other legal action, any personal assets of the owners would remain protected. Additionally, forming an LLC will give your business more credibility and provide additional tax benefits that would not be available through other structures like sole proprietorships and partnerships. 

Consider an attorney or professional service: Although you could file all of the paperwork yourself, working with an experienced attorney is highly recommended when forming any type of business entity. An attorney can help ensure everything is filed properly and that you remain compliant with any state laws or regulations associated with LLCs in Maine. Additionally, there are also several paid services available that offer assistance throughout the entire process from filing paperwork to monitoring ongoing requirements for staying compliant in Maine.
