Organize your formation documents
Stage 1: Lay the foundation. Step 1 of 24 in the new LLC launch playbook. Banks, landlords and lenders will ask for proof that your LLC exists. Keep it all in one place so you never have to hunt.
Key points:
- Save your approved Articles of Organization (some states call it a Certificate of Formation) and the state filing receipt.
- Write down your LLC's exact legal name, state file number and formation date.
- Note who your registered agent is. That person or company receives legal mail for the business.
- Keep a digital folder and a paper copy.
Cost: Free. Time: 30 minutes.
