Form My LLC
Entrepreneurship is booming, and we're proud to be one of America's fastest-growing companies. Here's how you can start your LLC in six straightforward steps:
-
Your business name is the first impression you make. It's essential to pick a name that stands out and accurately represents your brand. In addition to selecting a unique name, you'll need to include a designator like "LLC" or "Limited Company" to indicate your business structure.
Tips:
1. Ensure your name is distinctive to avoid legal issues.
2. Check your state's specific naming requirements.
4. Use our Business Name Search tool to check the availability in your state.
5. Not settled on a business name yet, our Name Generator can help.
-
Your LLC needs an official business address. This could be your home address if you're running a home-based business, a rented office space, or even a virtual address. Remember to check your state's regulations, as some states do not accept P.O. Box addresses.
Pro Tip: A virtual address can provide privacy and the flexibility to manage your mail from anywhere. Check out our Virtual Address Service for a reliable solution. -
A registered agent is your legal point of contact with the state. They receive important documents and ensure your business complies with state regulations. While you can act as your own registered agent, we recommend using a professional service to avoid the hassle and maintain privacy.

You'll need to submit the names and addresses of all your LLC members to the state. This step is straightforward but crucial for maintaining transparency and compliance.
Note: You can use street addresses or P.O. boxes for your LLC members' addresses, depending on your state's requirements. -
When filing your LLC, you must state the purpose of your business. This can be a specific description or a broad statement like "any lawful purpose." If you're still refining your business idea, a general statement will suffice and gives you the flexibility to expand later.
Quick Tip: Keeping it simple with "any lawful purpose" covers most business activities and can save time during the filing process. -
The final step is to file your Articles of Organization with the state and pay the associated fees. This document officially creates your LLC. Filing can be done online or by mail, depending on your state.
