Forming An LLC
Discover The ‘Insider’ Strategies That Help People Form An LLC Quickly And Easily Without All The Hassles And At A Fraction Of The Expense
Why Form an LLC?
So why should you look at forming an LLC? An LLC (“limited liability corporation”) is different from other forms of incorporation and its use can help business owners protect their personal assets from lawsuits and liability. While it shields personal assets it is also useful as a tax planning and legal tool without a lot of the burdens and administrative costs and tasks that come with a regular means of incorporation.
Steps Used In Forming an LLC
Forming an LLC is not nearly as difficult as some people think. Of course the steps and means of formation are different in every state. So it is important that you check with your state government and examine your local laws for what the requirements might be. It also might help to consult with an attorney, it might seem like an extra expense, but the right advice can really save your business down the road if something were to happen and there was a flaw in how your business was set up. We have compiled the basic steps needed to create an LLC below that are common to most states to give you a head start in the process.
Select A Name For Your LLC
The first step in LLC creation is selecting a business name for your enterprise. These business names are usually governed by the office that is in charge of limited liability corporations in your state, this office is commonly attached to the secretary of state’s office. Once you have a name you would like to incorporate under you probably need to do a search to confirm that there is no other business enterprise operating under that name in your state. Some states may also prohibit the use of certain terms such as bank or insurance in the name . So make sure you check with the office that has jurisdiction over your company to ensure you are following the law.
Filing Your Articles Of Organization
Once you have settled on a legal name for your entity it is time to file articles of organization. This paperwork can also be called certificate of formation or certificate of organization in some states. The articles are usually not that complicated stating items such as the place of business, the name of the entity, list of members, and the purpose of operation for the company. Most states will require that you pay a filing fee when you submit your articles of organization and name someone to act as your registered agent. The registered agent is usually a member or officer of the company who is responsible for keeping contact information for the service of any legal proceedings involving the new entity.
Writing An Operating Agreement
Once you have filed all the necessary arrangements with the government there is still work to do if you want to have formed a viable and effective limited liability company. These agreements are important even if it is not require that you file them with your state because they organize key principals on who owns and runs the company. The operating agreement can spell out what percentage of ownership each member has including voting rights, and who is responsible for day to day operations. This agreement may also have buy sell arrangements listed showing who can own and sell their ownership of the company.
Publication And Notice Of Creation
Some states may require that you publish a small notice in a newspaper that states the name of the company and your intention to form an LLC. You may have to publish this notice several times depending on the rules in your state and may even have to provide an affidavit to the state office from the newspaper that such a publication was made.
