Licensed professionals like doctors, lawyers, and nurses must use a Professional LLC or Professional Corporation in many states, not a standard LLC. Using the right structure protects your liability and can let you operate as a 1099 contractor instead of a W-2 employee.
Chapters
If you're a professional, then you should think twice before registering an LLC or corporation. The reason is because in some states professionals have to file a different type of LLC, which is called a professional LLC or a professional corporation. Check with your state, but this could be required for professionals such as nurses, nurse practitioners, doctors, lawyers, dentists, massage therapists, cosmetologists, uh, social workers, and all sorts of other professionals. I'm sure you know that as a professional you are exposed to a lot of risk and and liability, and you definitely want to make sure that your entity is set up properly so that you have the liability protections. Not to mention, having the proper entity such as an LLC or corporation for your professional business could also provide you with tax benefits such as being able to file as a 1099 contractor or worker rather than a W-2 employee.
