LLC in Missouri

How to form an LLC in Missouri:

You form Missouri LLCs by filing articles of organization with the MO SOS.

What is required to file Missouri LLC Articles of Organization?

To form a Missouri LLC, you file Missouri LLC articles of organization. The Missouri articles of organization cost $50 to the Missouri Secretary of State if you file online. These LLC articles can be basic or complicated. We custom draft your Missouri LLC articles of organization when you hire Northwest to do your Missouri LLC registration, but if you'd like to save some money, you could just hire us as your MO 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.
  • New Missouri LLCs name must be different than already registered Missouri companies.
  • Duration of the Missouri LLC may be limited or perpetual.
  • The specific purpose(s) for which the Missouri limited liability company is formed. You may also include a general purpose clause.
  • The Missouri registered agent and the physical address.
  • The name and address of the LLC organizer(s).
  • If the limited liability company is to be managed by one or more managers or members. 
  • The Missouri organizer must sign.
  • Name and address where the filed document should be returned.

Missouri does not require original signatures on filings. The registered Missouri LLC paperwork will be mailed to the address on the filing. 

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

  1. Missouri LLC registration is started when you file the articles of organization for a Missouri LLC with the Secretary of State.
  2. You obtain a federal tax ID number with the IRS after you have confirmation from Missouri 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 Missouri LLC with the Department of Revenue and the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations if you're going to have employees or need to withhold sales tax. Many MO businesses can register with both agencies using Missouri Online Business Registration.
  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.
