How to Form an LLC


Licenses and Permits

After you've completed the steps described above, your LLC is official. But before you open your doors for business, you need to obtain the licenses and permits that all new businesses must have to operate. These may include a business license (sometimes also referred to as a "tax registration certificate"), a federal employer identification number, a sellers' permit, or a zoning permit.

 
Do It Yourself Materials

You can use LLC Maker software (from Nolo) to create articles of organization and a customized operating agreement that suits the needs of you and your co-owners and meets the requirements of your state's laws. If you'd rather use a book (with forms on CD), take a look at Form Your Own Limited Liability Company, by Tony Mancuso (Nolo).
