Georgia LLC Registration

LLC in Georgia

How to form an LLC in Georgia:

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

What is required to file Georgia LLC Articles of organization?

To form a Georgia LLC, you file Georgia LLC articles of organization. The Georgia articles of organization cost $100 to the Georgia Secretary of State. These LLC articles can be basic or complicated. We custom draft your Georgia LLC articles of organization when you hire Northwest to do your Georgia LLC registration, but if you'd like to save some money, you could just hire us as your GA registered agent, and then we supply you all the correct forms to file and filing instructions in your online account immediately. The basic Georgia LLC requirements are:

• The business name must have a LLC ending or variation of it
• The Georgia company name must be different than already registered Georgia companies
• The Georgia LLCs principal mailing address
• The Georgia registered agent name and the physical address
• The Georgia organizers name and address

Georgia does not require original signatures on filings. You need to provide an email address because Georgia SOS sends you an email when they have completed your filing. All you have to do is click on the link to view your filed document.

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

1. Georgia LLC registration is started when you file the articles of organization for a Georgia LLC with the Secretary of State.
2. You obtain a federal tax ID number with the IRS after you have confirmation from Georgia 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 Georgia LLC with the Georgia Department of Revenue or Georgia Department of Labor if you're going to have employees or need to withhold sales tax. 
5. You obtain a trade or occupational license, if you actually need one. (Most businesses don't.) Quick links and information are in your online account when you sign up with northwest.
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.
