How to SetUp an LLC

LLC formation – general requirements

Many small business owners decide to form a limited liability company because of the protection it provides. An LLC exists separately from its owner, ensuring business owners aren’t responsible for the company’s debt.

To start LLC, you are required to file paperwork in the state your business is located in. While every state has its own rules and regulations, there are some general guidelines you are expected to follow. In the following steps, we will explain the business formation process. We also encourage you to hire Business Anywhere services and our admins will help you start a company in a few days.

Select the name

Most states won’t allow business entities to have the same names, which means the name you pick must be unique. Additionally, many states will restrict companies from using certain words in their name, such as Treasury or bank.

It would be wise to research whether other businesses in your area have the same or similar names. If you choose a unique name for your limited liability company, it means you can avoid confusion and infringement claims.

If the name is available, but you aren’t ready to file your LLC documents at the moment, you can always reserve your name for up to 90 days and pay a reservation fee.

Choose a registered agent

Almost every state requires limited liability companies to name a registered agent. This person or a company agrees to receive subpoenas, lawsuits, and other legal documents on behalf of your LLC and pass them along to a responsible person.

A state resident over 18 years of age can serve as a registered agent. All Business Anywhere subscription packages contain the services of a registered agent.

Articles of Organization

Although each state has its procedures and forms for establishing an LLC, in general, everyone must file Articles of Organization that include the following:

Operating Agreement

An operating agreement is a road map that describes your business. Whether you are a small business owner or a corporation, it’s wise to have an operating agreement. It specifies voting rights, owners’ interest, how profits and losses will be allocated, how the business will be managed, and will cover other details related to your business. Keep in mind that this is an internal document and isn’t filed with the state.

Get an EIN

The next step includes getting an EIN or Employer Identification Number. It is unique to your corporation and crucial for particular business necessities, like hiring employees, paying a tax, and banking.

You apply for EIN only after the state has issued a certificate that your LLC exists, while the IRS will provide you with an EIN free of charge. Depending on your business, you may also need additional licenses and permits.
