Your Professional License May Affect Your Type of Business
If you have a license to practice law, accounting, medicine, architecture, or another professional service, you may qualify to form a Professional Corporation or Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC). These business structures can help licensed professionals protect their personal assets from lawsuits brought against their practice.

Special Requirements for Professional Companies
Though state laws vary, PCs and PLLCs usually share these characteristics:
- Many states require all owners to be licensed in the same profession.
- States often require proof of licensing before approving the company.
- You may need to follow industry-specific regulations for naming your company.
- Many states require certain endings to your business name; for example, "PC" for a Professional Corporation or "PLLC" for a Professional Limited Liability Company.
