What is required to file Alaska LLC Articles of Organization?

To form an Alaska LLC, you file Alaska LLC articles of organization. The Alaska articles of organization cost $250 to the Alaska Secretary of State Division of Corporations. These LLC articles can be basic or complicated. We custom draft your Alaska LLC articles of organization when you hire Northwest to do your Alaska LLC registration, but if you'd like to save some money, you could just hire us as your AK 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 Alaska LLCs name must be different than already registered Alaska companies.
• Duration of the Alaska LLC.
• The purpose of the Alaska limited liability company.
• The Alaska registered agent and the physical address.
• The names and addresses of the initial member(s), and organizer, if any.
• If the limited liability company is to be managed by one or more managers, list the names and addresses of the managers.
• The Alaska member/organizer must sign.
• Name, address and phone number of the person that prepared the form.

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

1. Alaska LLC registration is started when you file the articles of organization for an Alaska LLC with the Secretary of State Division of Corporations.
2. An initial report must be filed within 6 months of the AK LLC registration date.
3. You obtain a federal tax ID number with the IRS after you have confirmation from Alaska that the LLC is completely filed.
4. You should be able to open a LLC banking account with these items.
