Q: Where should I create my LLC for my KDP and POD business?
I'm looking to start a digital product business with Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and Print on Demand (POD). I plan to form an LLC and am considering the legal and tax benefits. I temporarily reside in Virginia, have a CDL license in Ohio where I plan to return soon, but am also considering forming the LLC in Wyoming or Florida. My business will be operated solely by me without employees and will be conducted via my computer and phone from any location. I have weighed the costs and am unsure about requirements like a registered agent. Where should I create my LLC?
A:
You have several options which take a lot of explanation and more questions about your business and its reach. You could initially file under Virginia law and when you move to Ohio transfer the LLC to Ohio. If there are tax advantages and/or state filing advantages to form your LLC in Wyoming or Florida, you would need to seek authority for that LLC to transact business in VIrginia and then Ohio. I would recommend you schedule a consult with an attorney that has a business practice to fully understand your options and the advantages/disadvantages of each.
