Creating an LLC can help you protect your personal assets and separate your home and savings from potential business liabilities—including debts, lawsuits, and other potential challenges. However, establishing a business LLC in Phoenix requires several specific steps that can prove complicated. Working with a business solutions attorney can help ensure that you have followed the necessary process and done what is needed to protect yourself for the future.
Business owners should start by creating a unique name for the LLC: one that is not currently used by any other business. Including an “LLC” designator can help establish the type of business at a glance.
In order to form an LLC in phoenix, new businesses will need a statutory agent who can accept legal documents and important paperwork for the business. A statutory agent, also known as a registered agent, must:
Most business owners in Arizona choose to be their own statutory agent. When forming a partnership, the new LLC may need to appoint a specific individual or entity to fill that role.
New LLCs must be registered with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). The registration paperwork will include:
New business owners should expect to pay a fee to file their articles of organization, which may depend on whether or not they need expedited service.
As part of the process of legally establishing a business LLC in Phoenix, once the ACC approves the new corporation, business owners must publish their formation notice in a newspaper on a list provided by the ACC. This notification must be published at least three times.
While creating an operating agreement is not part of the legally-mandated process of establishing a business LLC in Arizona, it is a key part of making sure that the business has a good operating structure and is prepared to launch. The operating agreement should include the owner of the business, who will manage the business and take on key operations, and how the structure of the business works. The operating agreement can be key in establishing liability in the event of a potential challenge.
Once the LLC has been created and approved, the business will need an Employer Identification Number. This number allows the employer to get a bank account, file and pay taxes, and navigate interactions with the IRS.
Because of the many steps involved in establishing a business LLC in Phoenix—not to mention the necessity of protecting your private finances as you launch your new business—talking to a lawyer can prove essential.
