Forming a Illinois LLC or Corporation creates a separate legal entity from those who own it. This is a big liability shield that can protect the assets of the company shareholders. In order to maximize this protective shield, the Illinois Limited Liability Company must be operated correctly and observe some formalities that separate the business from the owners. If this is not done correctly, a court or the IRS could easily disregard the corporate structure (i.e. "Piercing the Corporate Veil") and when this happens, the assets of the owners are at risk.
