Online sites quote all kinds of prices for an “LLC.” In Missouri and Kansas, you can form a Limited Liability with the Secretary of State. That will get you “Articles of Organization,” a kind of “birth certificate” for the new LLC. Especially in Missouri, the forms look simple, but the options you check could affect your legal protections in the future! Some websites offer a low-cost “LLC,” but sometimes that only includes filing your Articles with the Secretary of State.
But there’s more to an LLC than “Articles.” You’ll also want an operating agreement. At QuickStart Docs, we have created a system to allow a single business owner (or husband and wife) to set up their LLC for as low as $299 plus the state filing fee. Each of our plans provides you with everything you need to set up your LLC. This will include properly forming you with the State, your operating agreement, initial meeting minutes, a bank authorization, and your federal tax i.d. number (a/k/a EIN).
