Before you can form an LLC, you’ll need to decide on your company name—and make sure it’s not already taken. Fortunately, every state has an online database where you can search for available names. When choosing a name, you’ll also need to avoid restricted words or phrases and include a business entity identifier, such as “L.L.C.,” “LLC,” or “Limited Liability Company.”
Your registered agent must be regularly available to accept your LLC’s state and legal mail at a physical location in the state (a registered office). This means that if you opt to be your own registered agent, your name and home or office address will become part of your LLC’s permanent public record.
Now that you’ve made the big decisions, it’s time to file the LLC state form, typically called “Articles of Organization.” In most states, LLC formation documents are processed by the Secretary of State. Requirements vary, but at minimum, you’ll generally need to include your company name, your registered agent, and a signature.

Time is money—and professionals know where to look for speed and competence without extra fees. At Northwest, we have registered offices in every state. We know the people in each state’s Corporate Division. We know the fastest filing methods. And when you hire us to incorporate, we use our knowledge to provide you fast, professional service.
As your registered agent, we’re able to list our registered office throughout your formation documents—as your principal office, directors’ business address, etc. We don’t list your personal info on filings if we don’t have to. Why? At Northwest, we practice Privacy by Default®, providing you a level of privacy you can’t get filing yourself or with a standard filing service.
We know the ins and outs of each state—and we use this knowledge to help you when you need it most. Our team of Corporate Guides® has over 200 local business experts dedicated to helping you. You can call or email us for all your toughest business questions.
Starting a business goes beyond filing paperwork with the state. If you’re serious about reaching clients and customers, you need a domain name, a website, a business phone number, business email addresses, and SSL Security. You can piece those services together with different companies, or you can hand it off to us.
Indeed, BizzHopper provides services for forming corporations (C corps). We provide the same simplicity and compliance features as our LLC services, managing the paperwork required to register corporations with the state.
Choose our corporation formation service as the first step in the ZenBusiness corporation formation process. You will include information about the directors and officers, as well as your company name and address. Your Articles of Incorporation will be filed with the state by us. Official documents will be provided to you after your corporation is registered. To assist you in meeting legal obligations, we provide extra services like compliance management and registered agent support.
