About the LLC Formation Process in Wyoming: Filing the Articles of Organization
Creating an LLC within Wyoming requires adherence to certain guidelines and regulations set forth by the state's statutes.
Choose a Proper Name: The name of the LLC must include a certain specified phrase, such as "Limited Liability Company" or its abbreviations "LLC," "L.L.C.," "Limited Company," "LC," "L.C.," "Ltd. Liability Company," "Ltd. Liability Co.," or "Limited Liability Co." This requirement is outlined in W.S. 17-29-108.
Decide if the Entity Elects to be a Close LLC: The Wyoming Close LLC is intended to meet the needs of small businesses. By utilizing the Wyoming LLC Act, close companies can avoid cumbersome formalities while still enjoying the benefits of a Wyoming LLC. The "close" status offers numerous benefits, including lower costs due to fewer formalities and professional fees, ease of operation with less time spent on meetings and formal notices, transfer restrictions that allow current members to have the right of first refusal when a member dies or attempts to sell their interest, and limited liability protection for members through the corporate veil. This protection also extends to single-member LLCs, making Wyoming unique in this aspect. A Wyoming Close LLC has no residency requirements for its members or owners, other than that of the registered agent. Additionally, it can have a maximum of 35 members or owners.
Specify Email Address: A required aspect of forming an LLC in Wyoming is that an email address must be provided to the state, as specified in W.S. 17-28-104(e).
Pay Filing Fee: A filing fee of $100.00 must be paid in order to submit your LLC's formation documents. This fee can be paid to the state online using a credit card, but if you prefer to file your LLC formation documents in paper form, you can make the check or money order payable to the Wyoming Secretary of State.
Review Carefully and Submit: It is important to review your form prior to submission, as the Secretary of State's Office will be unable to process incomplete forms. It typically takes up to 15 business days for the Secretary of State's Office to process your LLC formation documents, and there is no option for expedited filing. However, you can check the status of your LLC formation by visiting the website at wyobiz.wyo.gov.
Comply With Ongoing Requirements: Once your LLC has been formed, it will be subject to annual reporting requirements. These reports are due every year on the first day of the anniversary month of formation. If the annual report is not paid within 60 days of the due date, the LLC will be subject to dissolution.
