LLC Application Process Explained

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is one of the most popular business structures in the United States. It combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax benefits and operational flexibility of a partnership. When you form an LLC, you create a separate legal entity that protects your personal assets from business debts and lawsuits.

The LLC formation process varies by state, but generally involves selecting a unique business name, designating a registered agent, filing Articles of Organization with the state, creating an Operating Agreement, and obtaining any necessary licenses and permits. Our service streamlines this process, handling the paperwork and ensuring compliance with state requirements.

Whether you're starting a new business, converting from a sole proprietorship, or forming a holding company, an LLC provides the flexibility and protection you need. With pass-through taxation, your business income flows directly to your personal tax return, avoiding the double taxation that corporations face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about LLC formation

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure that combines the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation. This means the owners (called "members") are protected from personal liability for business debts and claims, while enjoying flexible management and tax benefits.
When you form an LLC, you create a separate legal entity from yourself. This means your personal assets (home, car, savings) are generally protected from business debts and lawsuits. Creditors can only pursue the assets owned by the LLC, not your personal property. However, this protection requires maintaining proper separation between personal and business finances.
LLCs enjoy "pass-through" taxation by default, meaning business profits and losses pass through to the members' personal tax returns. This avoids the "double taxation" that corporations face. LLCs can also elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp if it's more advantageous. Members may be able to deduct business expenses and losses against other income.
The cost varies by state. State filing fees range from $40 to $500, with most states charging between $50-$200. Our service fee starts at $49 plus state filing fees. Additional optional services like registered agent service, EIN filing, and operating agreements are available for additional fees.
Yes! A single-member LLC is a popular choice for sole proprietors who want liability protection. You get all the benefits of an LLC—including personal asset protection and flexible taxation—while maintaining complete control over your business. Many freelancers, consultants, and small business owners choose this structure.
Yes, you can register your LLC in multiple states. Your "domestic" LLC is formed in your home state, and you can then register as a "foreign" LLC in other states where you do business. Some businesses choose to form in states like Delaware or Wyoming for their business-friendly laws, even if they operate elsewhere.
In a member-managed LLC, all members (owners) participate in day-to-day operations and decision-making. In a manager-managed LLC, members designate one or more managers to run the business—these managers can be members or outside professionals. Most small LLCs are member-managed, while larger LLCs with passive investors often choose manager-managed.
