This week on the Hosting Hotline, we’re tackling one of the most common legal questions new hosts face: Do you really need an LLC to start hosting? Listener Jennifer is about to launch her first short-term rental and wants to make sure she’s protecting her personal assets and doing things the right way. We walk through how to approach this decision with confidence, who you should be talking to, and why the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. In this episode, we cover: – Why it’s worth consulting your attorney, CPA, and insurance broker early on – What an LLC can (and can’t) do for your business – How your long-term goals impact your setup – The mindset shift that comes with treating hosting like a real business – Why it’s never too late to make your business structure legit If you’ve been wondering whether to form an LLC, this episode is a must-listen.
