Though it has its benefits, an LLC has some disadvantages as well. To name a few: it has costs to set up and maintain during the year, requires more paperwork and reporting to the state (like an annual report), you need a registered agent (you can be your own but if you hire a service it’s another cost), and you might need to get business licenses and permits for your LLC.
