7 Steps to Start Your New LLC:
Support is available every step of the way.
2
Name your LLC
Your name has to be unique to avoid confusion with an existing registered company within your state. It must contain the words LLC or limited liability company in the name, and you can’t use financial words such as insurance, trust, bank, and inc.
3
File Articles of Organization
The most essential step towards registering your business is filing the Articles of Organization with your state. Some states use different terminology, such as a Certificate of Formation or a Certificate of Organization.
4
Choose a Registered Agent
A registered agent is an individual who will receive legal and other documents on behalf of your business, such as subpoenas, regulatory and tax notices, and correspondence.
5
Create an Operating Agreement
An operating agreement records your LLC’s setup and organizational structure. Most states don’t require an LLC to file an operating agreement but many banks and lenders ask for one before opening an account or funding your business.
6
Apply for an EIN
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is used to identify a business entity. It’s a 9-digit number assigned by the IRS to identify taxpayers who are required to file business tax returns.
7
Compliance & Tax Requirements
Your state determines your annual compliance items, tax filing, license, and permit requirements. You’ll find what you need on the sba.gov website or by contacting your secretary of state’s office.
