Connecticut LLC Registration

LLC in Connecticut

How to form an LLC in Connecticut:

You form Connecticut LLCs by filing articles of organization with the CT Secretary of State.

What is required to file Connecticut LLC Articles of organization?

To form a Connecticut LLC, you file Connecticut LLC articles of organization. The Connecticut articles of organization cost $120 to the Connecticut Secretary of State. These LLC articles can be basic or complicated. We custom draft your Connecticut LLC articles of organization when you hire Northwest to do your Connecticut LLC registration, but if you'd like to save some money, you could just hire us as your CT registered agent, and then we supply you all the correct forms to file and filing instructions in your online account immediately. The basic Connecticut LLC requirements are:

• The business name must have a LLC ending or variation of it
• The LLCs name must be different than already registered Connecticut companies
• The purpose or business of the Connecticut LLC
• Indicate if the LLC is to be managed by managers
• List the name, title, and address of at least one member or manager
• The principal office address of the CT LLC needs to be a physical address. However, you may list a PO box as the LLCs mailing address
• The Connecticut registered agent name and physical address
• The CT registered agent needs to sign the articles to accept the appointment
• The Connecticut organizer must sign and date

Connecticut does not require original signatures on filings. The registered Connecticut LLC paperwork will be mailed to the filer listed on the articles.

What's the actual process to start a Connecticut LLC?

1. Connecticut LLC registration is started when you file the articles of organization for a Connecticut LLC with the Secretary of State.
2. You obtain a federal tax ID number with the IRS after you have confirmation from Connecticut 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 Connecticut LLC with the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services or Connecticut Department of 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.) Links and contact information for the CT Licensing Info Center are available in your online account.
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.
