Forming an LLC Step One

The first thing we did was purchase a generic forms software from Staples. Our disc of choice happens to be Socrates Limited Liability Companies Made E-Z.

After playing around with this software for about an hour and getting really frustrated I started searching the internet.

What I found out was that I could go onto the Ohio Secretary of State website. There I was able to locate the preferred form for filing the Articles of Organization for a Domestic Limited Liability Company.

I filled out the form. DH and I signed the form. I am mailing in the signed for to the state with a check for $125.00 along with a SASE. After my form is filed I will move onto step 2.

Forming an LLC

Well you don't know what we can find. Why don't you come with me, little girl, on a magic carpet ride.

Those lyrics were on repeat in my mind as I started this LLC process.

Who knew that this would be such a pain in the....well you know.

The even worse news? I'm only on step one. That's right. I'm a whiner.

Ok, I'll back up a bit. My DH and I decided, a few years ago, that it would be in our best interest to form an LLC. My DH does a lot of side jobs that he is paid cash for, and I may someday figure out what I want to be when I grow up. So, for liability sake, we should form an LLC.

Fast forward to present day, I have finally got around to starting this process. I'm doing as much research about it as I can, and trying to follow the advice of my mentors.

My goal is to update my blog on the steps of the process and keep my imaginary friends updated.

Stay tuned for Step One.
