Starting an LLC

How to Form an LLC

At LLC.com, we make it easy for you to form an LLC online in less than 10 minutes. Simply enter some basic information about yourself and the company you want to form. Here's what you'll need to do to start an LLC today:

1. Choose the state where you will form your company. This is usually the state where you conduct the majority of your business.

2. Pick the LLC package that best meets your needs (economy, basic, complete or international).

3. Tell us the name you would like to give your company.

4. Give us the names and addresses of your company's owners. This can be just you, or it can be multiple owners.

5. Pay us using your credit card, debit card or electronic check.

Process for Forming an LLC

When you're ready to start a small business, LLC.com takes care of the time-consuming formalities of filing official documents with the state government. Here's what happens after you submit your online order to us.

1. Your LLC formation order is assigned to a Business Specialist who checks your company name for availability. If your preferred and alternate names are unavailable because of a conflict with an existing record with that Secretary of State's office, we will contact you.
   
   
2. We complete LLC formation documents (usually called the Articles of Organization). In states where your signature is not required, we will forward your LLC formation documents to the state immediately via our network of state offices. We have offices in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
   
   
3. A few states (AZ, IN, LA, MO, NE, NH, TN, and UT) require a signature on the documents we complete. If the state you have chosen requires your signature on the documents, we will send you the forms and forward them to the state as soon as you return the signed documents to us.
   
   
4. The turnaround time varies by state, but many states will approve your LLC formation within one to three business days.
   
   
5. Once the state approves your LLC formation, we will return the official documents for your new LLC to you along with any other package options you purchased (like a corporate kit or reference books). Customers who purchase our Complete or Basic package will receive their official LLC documents via express FedEx delivery.
