What Do I need to Do to Learn How to Become an LLC Step-by-Step?

Before you take the steps to learn how to become an LLC, you need to learn more about the advantages of establishing your business as an LLC. An LLC or limited liability company is one of the best entities to choose for small to medium enterprises or SMEs.

Many people prefer to set up an LLC rather than establish themselves as a sole proprietor because an LLC offers personal asset protection and pass-through taxation.

Rather than pay taxes on your business, you pay them on your personal earnings. You also have more flexibility in the creation of you LLC. You can establish yourself as a single-member LLC, multiple-member LLC, member-managed LLC, or manager-managed LLC.

I can help you decide what type of LLC is best for your business. Contact me to schedule a consultation at your convenience. Email sam@mollaeilaw.com today.

Why Do I Need Legal Help When Learning How to Become an LLC?

When you are in the process of learning how to become an LLC, you need a lawyer to review the documents to make sure you correctly follow the steps. That way, you can set up your LLC and avoid any unexpected complications.

To initiate the formation of an LLC, you need to follow the steps below. Before you begin, however, you will need to determine where you will establish your LLC.

If you plan to establish a local business presence, you need to form your LLC where you will be the most influential business-wise. For example, if you want to get acquainted with local customers in California, you should establish your LLC in California.

Maybe your business will feature several locations. If so, you might find it easier to establish your LLC in a state, such as Wyoming. Wyoming is a popular place to set up an LLC, as it provides more privacy and has lower filing fees.

Businesses that cannot become LLCs include banks and insurance companies.

Learning How to Become an LLC – Following the Steps

As you are learning how to become an LLC, you will need to familiarize yourself with the steps below. You may also think about creating a checklist to help you with your business formation.

Number 1 – Choose a Name for your New Company

You will need to go through the Secretary of State (SOS) for your LLC state to check the database of company names. You have to do this to make sure your LLC’s name is unique. You cannot legally share your business name with another business. Ensure that you can use your name, once you select it, by registering it.

Number 2 – Set Up Your Website, using a Domain Name that is the Same as Your New Business Name

Make sure your company name can be found as easy by people you serve locally as it can be located online. When you set up your company’s website, you should feature your new name – the same one you chose and registered through the SOS.

Number 3 – Designate a Registered Agent for Your New LLC

You will legally need to retain a registered agent to receive legal paperwork and tax forms, and information for your LLC. Your registered agent must be at least 18 years old if you choose an individual.

You can also designate a company that provides registered agent services. You will need to provide the registered agent’s contact details when you form your Articles of Organization.

Number 4 – Craft an Operating Agreement

Next, you will need to have an operating agreement written. You can either write an agreement and have a lawyer review it, or have the lawyer draft the agreement with your input. 

I can assist you in this respect. Contact me easily online. Email sam@mollaeilaw.com for all the details.

You don’t have to submit the operating agreement with the SOS, but you should retain it in your company’s files to avoid any conflicts of interest or disputes. Make sure you are clear about how to handle any management issues that may come up from time to time.

Number 5 – Create and File your Articles of Organization

Next, you need to create and file your Articles of Organization. To do this, again, you will need a lawyer’s help and recommendations. Each state has its own rules about submitting this document.

However, all Articles of Organization should include the name and contact details of the owner of the LLC and, in some instances, the registered agent. 

I can help you format your Articles of Organization for submission. You can count on me to keep one step ahead during your company’s opening. Email sam@mollaeilaw.com to get your questions answered today.

Number 6 – Obtain an Employer Identification Number after you Receive your Certificate

After you file your Articles of Organization, you will receive a certificate from the state showing that you are officially an LLC. After you receive your certificate, you can obtain an Employer Identification Number or EIN. This number is needed for opening your business bank account.

Number 7 – Open Up a Bank Account

Opening up your business bank account is an important event, as you can now transact business. You will also need to make sure you have accounting software installed and that your accounts can be tracked easily online.
