Go to the website of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs

The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) is the Michigan government agency that oversees the formation of all businesses in the state, including Limited Liability Companies (LLCs). LLCs are a type of business entity that offers personal liability protection to its owners, similar to a corporation. However, unlike a corporation, an LLC is not required to have a board of directors or hold annual meetings.

To form an LLC in Michigan, you must file several documents with the state, including Articles of Organization and a Registered Agent Statement. These forms can be filed online via the LARA website.

Before you begin, you will need to choose a name for your LLC. The name must include the words “Limited Liability Company” or “LLC” and it cannot be the same as another business name already on file with the state. Once you have chosen a name, you can check for availability using the LARA Business Entity Search tool.

When you are ready to begin, go to the LARA website and click on the “Business Filings” link. Scroll down to the “Limited Liability Companies” section and click on the “File Now” button. You will be taken to the Michigan Business One Stop website where you can create an account and begin filing your LLC paperwork.

Select the option to Form a New LLC

The first step in forming a Michigan LLC online is to select the option to form a new LLC. You will be asked to provide some basic information about your business, including the name of the LLC, the registered agent, the purpose of the LLC, and the names of the members. Once you have provided this information, you will be able to submit your application for formation.

Enter the required information about the LLC

Enter the name of your limited liability company, the street address of your LLC, the names and addresses of the LLC’s organizers and the LLC’s initial registered agent and their street address. The organizers are the people who sign the articles of organization and can be any adults, including yourself. The registered agent is a person or business that agrees to accept legal documents on behalf of the LLC. The street address must be a physical address in Michigan, not a P.O. Box.

Pay the filing fee

You can pay the filing fee online with a credit card, or you can print out the form and mail it in with a check or money order. The filing fee is $50.
