Articles of Organization
Do businesses require an Article of Organization?
Every state requires you to have an article of organization if you intend to form an LLC. Your LLC’s fundamental details will be outlined in an article of organization that is submitted to the Secretary of State’s office. On the Secretary of State’s website, there will be a form that you may fill out with the specific criteria for each state.
Is it possible that articles from organizations get rejected?
Yes, the article of organization may be rejected by your state for a variety of reasons, such as incomplete papers, erroneous registration documentation, failure to pay the filing fee, unavailability of a business name, and an invalid registered office.
What happens once I submit my articles of organization?
After you submit the articles, the state agency will review them. If everything checks out, it will issue a certificate of formation. You can use this document to obtain an IRS Employer Identification Number and establish an LLC bank account. You’ll also have to draft an LLC operating agreement. This is a document outlining your company’s activities, designations, rights, and asset contributions.
How can I revise my articles of organization?
Each state has a unique procedure for changing articles of organization. In general, you’ll need to fill out and submit a form to fix mistakes, update your address, or change your registered agent or member/manager information.
Where can you submit an article of organization?
Usually, the article of organization is filed with the secretary of state in the state where the LLC is formed. This can be done in person; however, some states enable you to file the document online. All costs can be paid with a credit or debit card.
