Explanation of Solution

A limited liability company(LLC) would be liable to pay tax as a partnership firm unless it itself declares to be taxed as a corporation. Any LLC which consists of at least two members have the option to choose between a corporation or a partnership taxation.

Not long ago, a local landscaping business completed nearly $8,500 worth of work around London's offices. While the initial bid seemed a little high for the amount of work that was actually done, there is no question that the work completed was of high quality, and London finally feels comfortable inviting potential clients to meet him at his office to discuss possible deals.
