How to form an LLC in Colorado:

You form Colorado LLCs by filing articles of organization with the CO SOS.

What is required to file Colorado LLC Articles of Organization?

To form an Colorado LLC, you file Colorado LLC articles of organization. The Colorado articles of organization cost $50 to the Colorado Secretary of State. These LLC articles can be basic or complicated. We custom draft your Colorado LLC articles of organization when you hire Northwest to do your Colorado LLC registration, but if you'd like to save some money, you could just hire us as your CO registered agent, and then we supply you all the correct forms to file and filing instructions in your online account immediately. The basic requirements are:

• The business name must have a limited liability company ending or variation of it.
• A New Colorado LLCs name must be different than already registered Colorado companies.
• The mailing and principal office address of the llc company
• The Colorado registered agent and the physical address.
• The names and addresses of the initial organizer(s).
• If the limited liability company is to be managed by one or more managers or members. The members or managers names are not required on the initial articles.
• The Colorado organizer does not have to sign.

Colorado does not require original signatures on filings. The registered Colorado LLC paperwork should be filed online. You can see all the filed documents immediately.

What's the actual process to start an Colorado LLC?

1. Colorado LLC registration is started when you file the articles of organization for a Colorado LLC with the Secretary of State.
2. You obtain a federal tax ID number with the IRS after you have confirmation from Colorado that the LLC is completely filed.
3. You should be able to open a LLC banking account with these two items.
4. You register your Colorado LLC with the department of revenue or labor if you're going to have employees or need to withhold sales tax.
5. You obtain a trade license, if you actually need one. (Most businesses don't.)
6. You obtain a local city or county general license, if you need one.
7. You obtain a local trade license, if the city or county you're going to be working in requires it.
8. If you're going to have an office or shop, you might need an approval from the city zoning for your type of business in that location.
