Each individual state is different. Search your specific state for


step-by-step instructions. In a perfect world, they'd all be the

be the owner of the LLC as long as the owner lives within the same state as
the LLC is being formed.

• You will need to state whether your LLC is going to be a single member
pass through as a sole proprietorship. Later on, as the business grows you
may consider changing the tax status to an s-corp. This is where it is key
to speak with a local business attorney and your personal accountant so
that it best meets your individual needs.
