What is LLC Formation?

LLC formation is the process of creating a limited liability company under California law. It involves filing Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State, adopting an operating agreement, and meeting initial tax and registration requirements. Done right, it gives owners personal-asset protection and pass-through tax treatment from day one.

  • You are starting a new California business and want personal-asset protection without corporate-level tax.
  • You operate as a sole proprietorship or partnership and want to limit personal liability going forward.

  • A lender, vendor, or investor is requiring the business to be a registered entity before they engage.
