Hot take: LLCs are way overrated for solo landscapers like me
I see so many people in this sub pushing LLCs right away, but after 3 years running my own landscaping company, I finally dropped mine and went back to sole proprietor. The paperwork and annual fees in my state cost me about $800 a year, and I never once had a client sue me or even threaten to. My insurance policy covers my liability way better than an LLC ever could, and the tax setup is simpler now. When I talked to my accountant about it, she said most solo guys don't need an LLC unless they have employees or big assets to protect. I get that it works for some people, but has anyone else found the LLC hype is mostly just fearmongering from lawyers?
