Connecticut LLC Articles of Organization Forms

Domestic

Foreign

The Connecticut articles of organization forms are designed for an individual to create an LLC in the State. All filings and payments must be submitted to the Secretary of State through the standard mail with the $120 filing fee attached.

• Search the entity database to ensure that the name you select has not already been registered.

How to File

Step 1 – Download and complete one of the following articles of organization forms;

• Domestic – For all LLC’s that will be located inside the State
• Foreign – For all existing LLC’s located outside the State

Step 2 – Attach a check in the amount of $120 payable to the Connecticut Secretary of State.

Step 3 – Mail the filing fee and completed articles to:

• COMMERCIAL RECORDING DIVISION, CONNECTICUT SECRETARY OF THE STATE, P.O. BOX 150470, HARTFORD, CT 06115-0470

Wait between 10 to 15 business days for your completed LLC to return in the mail. At this time your filing is complete and you may conduct business within the State.

Tips

• Apply for an EIN Number – This will allow you to create a bank account and start building your business credit.
• LLC Operating Agreement – This makes the rules for the company and protects the owners from one another (if more than 1) and also helps prove that the entity is not just a tax shelter if ever audited by the government.
