Starting an LLC & Registering your business name!

Well for the average small business entrepreneur... it appears that an LLC (Limited Liability Company) is what you want to open.  These are the steps I found to getting an LLC registered for my new business...

1.) Name your LLC. The secretary of the state has a free online database where you can search to see if anyone else in your state is already using the business name that you want. If not, you are good to go!

2.) Choose a Statutory Agent. More than likely this is yourself. Its basically the person who will be speaking for the business, and signing your forms to open the business, you must be a resident of the state you are opening the LLC in.

3.) Go to the Commercial Recording Division of the Secretary of the State's website to download your "Articles of Organization" form.

4.) File your Articles of Organization form by paying the State's fee (in Connecticut it is $120) and mailing your form & check in to the Commercial Recording Division.

So to register your new business, that's it!! :)

I will blog about what comes next once I hear back from my request to register my business .... Hunt & Gather, LLC.
