Most customers finish this form in about 3 minutes.

First, what state are you forming your business in?

This is where your business will be located.

Have you already had an LLC or corporation in this state?

This helps us catch older entities with unpaid franchise tax, annual report issues, or other state problems before we file something new.

Who is the primary owner of this LLC?

We’ll start with the main owner’s personal information.

Enter the contact information for the primary owner.

This is how we’ll reach you if we need anything during the process, and it will also be used for the primary owner information on the filing.

Who will be your registered agent?

This person or business receives legal and state mail for your LLC. If you choose a separate agent, we’ll collect their contact details next.

The registered agent must have a physical address in the filing state and be available during normal business hours.
Required Every LLC needs a registered agent

The state requires a registered agent designation for the filing. That is a legal requirement, not an add-on.

Optional Paying for an outside agent is convenience

If you can legally serve as your own agent and want to, you can. Hiring a third-party agent is not required to form the LLC.

Where should the LLC’s office and mail be listed?

Some states ask for a principal office, a mailing address, or a county tied to the filing.

Tell us about the LLC itself.

These are the main business setup details.

Who is organizing the LLC filing?

Some states require the name and address of one or more organizers.

Who should be listed as the governing people?

Certain states ask for the people or entities responsible for governing the LLC.

No governing people added yet.

Will any part of this LLC be owned by a trust?

If a trust will own part of the company, list the legal trust name exactly as it should appear in the filing.

What name do you want for your LLC?

Give us your preferred name and three backups in case it’s unavailable.

Are there any additional owners besides the primary owner?

Add anyone else who owns part of the LLC. Do not include the primary owner listed earlier.

Only include people who legally own part of the business.
No additional owners added yet.

Are there any formal managers for this LLC?

If the LLC is member-managed, this will usually be 0. Only include people with formal manager authority.

Managers are separate from owners unless the same person has both roles.
No managers added yet.

Who should be listed as the filer contact?

Some states ask for the person filing and where filing follow-ups should go.

Who is authorized to sign or submit the filing?

This can be an owner, organizer, attorney, or another authorized person.

When should the LLC take effect?

Some states let you delay the effective date or set a future dissolution date.

Are there any extra filing provisions to include?

Leave this blank unless you have special article language or attorney-provided text.
