LLC in Arkansas

How to form an LLC in Arkansas:

You form Arkansas LLCs by filing articles of organization with the AR SOS.

What is required to file Arkansas LLC Articles of Organization?

To form an Arkansas LLC, you file Arkansas LLC articles of organization. The Arkansas articles of organization cost $50 to the Arkansas Secretary of State. These LLC articles can be basic or complicated. We custom draft your Arkansas LLC articles of organization when you hire Northwest to do your Arkansas LLC registration, but if you'd like to save some money, you could just hire us as your AR 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 Arkansas LLCs name must be different than already registered Arkansas companies.
• Duration of the Arkansas LLC.
• The purpose of the Arkansas limited liability company.
• The Arkansas 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 or members.  The members or managers names are not required on the initial articles.
• The Arkansas organizer must sign.
• Name, address and phone number of the person that prepared the form.

Arkansas does not require original signatures on filings. The registered Arkansas LLC paperwork will be mailed to the person who made the filing. If you file online, you can see all the filed documents immediately.

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

1. Arkansas LLC registration is started when you file the articles of organization for an Arkansas LLC with the Secretary of State.
2. You obtain a federal tax ID number with the IRS after you have confirmation from Arkansas 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 Arkansas 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.
