A:
In California, forming an LLC typically requires the members to be at least 18 years old. As a minor, you don’t have the legal capacity to enter into contracts, which are essential for establishing and operating an LLC. This means you can’t legally sign the necessary documents on your own.
However, there are ways to pursue your business goals with the help of an adult. A parent or guardian can assist in signing contracts and managing the legal aspects of the LLC until you reach adulthood. They can act as co-owners or manage the business on your behalf.
Once you turn 18, you can take full control of the LLC. It’s also a good idea to consult with a legal professional to explore any specific options or arrangements that might work for your situation. This ensures that your business is set up correctly and complies with all state laws.
