What do I need to start a Multi-Member LLC?

To file a multi-member LLC, you will need to provide the following information:

 

**Business Entity**

  • Filing State: This is the state in which you will file the LLC. The filing state does not have to be a state in which you or any of your members live.
  • LLC Name: This is the unique name of your business.
  • Primary Business Address: This is the primary address of your business. The address does not have to be located in your filing state and cannot be a PO Box.

**Business Contacts**

  • Primary Contact: This is the primary contact for your business.
  • Tax Contact: This is the primary contact for tax-related matters.
  • Registered Agent: This person is designated to receive legal documents on behalf or your business. This person is legally required to have a physical mailbox in your filing state, which must be checked regularly. The address cannot be a PO Box. Tribevest can establish a registered agent on your LLC’s behalf for an annual fee.
  • External Manager (if applicable): This person is authorized to run the day-to-day operations and make buying decisions for the LLC, but is NOT an owner of the business. An external manager is only applicable in a Manager-Managed LLC structure.

The Tribevest Setup makes it easy to file your LLC, add members, and begin the next step of opening a business bank account.
