Forming an LLC in Nevada, step by step.

  1. 1

    Choose a name and check it

    Your name needs "LLC" or a similar designator and must be distinguishable from names on record. Search the Nevada business database first.

  2. 2

    Appoint a registered agent

    Someone with a street address in Nevada who accepts legal papers and official notices for the LLC. You can serve yourself or use a registered agent service.

  3. 3

    File the Articles of Organization

    File with the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division. The state fee is $75. The Articles of Organization cost $75. A $150 Initial List and $200 State Business License are generally required at formation, making the combined state startup cost $425.

  4. 4

    Write an operating agreement

    Not required. Either way it sets ownership, money, and decisions in writing. See the operating agreement guide.

  5. 5

    Get an EIN

    The business's federal tax ID, free from the IRS. Our EIN assistance can prepare it.

  6. 6

    Register for sales tax if you sell taxable items

    Nevada issues a Sales Tax Permit (Sales/Use Tax Permit) through the Nevada Department of Taxation. Check local licenses too.

  7. 7

    File your Annual List

    Every year: last day of the LLC's formation anniversary month. The fee is $150.
