LLC Creation

414-275-3300

Choose a Unique Name: Choose a unique and easily identifiable name for your LLC that meets state regulations. Confirm the name isn't already in use by another business entity in your state.

Registered Agent: Nominate a registered agent for your LLC who will receive legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of the company. The registered agent must have a physical address in the state where the LLC is established.

File Articles of Organization: Prepare and submit Articles of Organization to the Secretary of State in the state where you intend to establish the LLC. Provide essential details about your LLC, including its name, registered agent, business address, and purpose.

Operating Agreement: This shows ownership structure, the responsibilities for management and the procedures of the LLC. Not required by law, but highly recommended.

Obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN): Apply for an EIN from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax purposes. Similar to a Social Security Number for your business, an EIN is essential for opening bank accounts, filing taxes, and hiring employees.

Obtain Business Licenses and Permits: To operate legally, research and obtain any necessary business licenses and permits required by your state, county, or local government.

Register for State Taxes: Register with the appropriate state tax authorities to collect and remit sales tax (if applicable) and any other state taxes required for your business activities.

File Annual Reports: Certain states mandate that LLCs submit annual reports or pay annual fees to uphold their good standing. It's important to adhere to any recurring reporting obligations required by your state.
