Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about LLC formation
How long does it take to form an LLC?
The timeline varies by state, typically ranging from 1-3 weeks for standard filing. Expedited options are available in most states for an additional fee.
What's the difference between an LLC and a corporation?
LLCs offer more flexibility in management, fewer formalities, and pass-through taxation, while corporations have a more rigid structure but may offer advantages for raising capital or going public.
Do I need a registered agent?
Yes, all LLCs are required to have a registered agent in their state of formation. This agent receives legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of your business.
Can I form an LLC in a different state than where I live?
Yes, you can form an LLC in any state, but you may need to register as a foreign LLC in your home state if you're conducting business there, which could result in additional fees and requirements.
What ongoing requirements do LLCs have?
LLCs typically need to file annual or biennial reports, pay state fees, maintain a registered agent, and comply with tax filing requirements. Requirements vary by state.
Do I need an EIN for my LLC?
Yes, if your LLC has more than one member, has employees, or will be taxed as a corporation. Even for single-member LLCs, an EIN is recommended for opening business bank accounts and keeping personal and business finances separate.
