What types of businesses can operate as LLCs or LLPs?

In California, an LLC can be operated by one person as long as the business is not the practice of law, accountancy or architecture. A limited liability partnership consisting of two or more is required for these professionals. Any business requiring a professional license pursuant to the Business & Professions Code, the Chiropractic Act, or the Osteopathic Act, is prohibited from operating as a limited liability company or partnership unless the licensing board approves of operation as a limited liability company. The best thing to do is to contact the board that licenses your profession and ask them if they authorize their licensees to practice as limited liability companies.

The Secretary of State for most states also has invaluable information relating to LLC requirements on their web sites. Go to your favorite search engine and search for Secretary of State of (your state).
