Formation Timeline

From name search to an open bank account

  1. Check name availability in the Utah business registry.
  2. File the Certificate of Organization — $70 State of Utah filing fee, plus $75 if expedited. Your registered agent is designated on this filing.
  3. Register for an EIN, the federal tax ID, with the IRS — no state fee.
  4. Adopt an operating agreement and initial resolutions. These are kept internally and are not filed with the state.
  5. If the LLC has more than one member, a member buy-sell / ownership split agreement is generally added at this point — this is typically where multi-member LLCs benefit most from an attorney.
  6. Open a business bank account and keep company and personal funds separate.

Filing Is the Easy Part

The state fees above cover the paperwork — the decisions behind it are where an attorney generally earns their keep. Bring your questions to a focused session and leave with a clear plan.
