    About this Form

    An articles of organization form is the document that one must complete and submit to the state to establish the creation of an LLC within Arkansas. It sets forth the name of the proposed company and contact information for its registered agent, among other details. It may include other provisions, provided that they are not inconsistent with state law. The purchased version of this form is guaranteed compliant with the laws of the state of Arkansas. It comes complete with instructions and filing information for creating an LLC within the state.

    Accepted Filing Methods

    Arkansas accepts the filing of an articles of organization form via postal mail or electronically via the Secretary of State's online system for e-filing documents.

    Name Availability & Requirements

    The requirements for naming an LLC within the state are set forth in Ark. Code § 4-32-103. The name of the LLC must contain the words "Limited Liability Company" or "Limited Company" or the abbreviations "L.L.C.", "L.C.", "LLC", or "LC". The word "Limited" may be abbreviated as "Ltd." and the word "Company" may be abbreviated as "Co.". The name must be distinguishable from those of all other entities on file with the state. It may not infringe on any active trademark or service mark registered with the state or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. One may search online Arkansas's trademark database and the USPTO's trademark database.

    One may determine the availability of a proposed business name for use within Arkansas by querying Arkansas's business entity database. As a general proposition, the state will consider a proposed business name available if the first two words of the name do not match the first two words of that of any other entity authorized to conduct business within the state.

    Required Fees

    Arkansas imposes a fee of $45 for the filing of an articles of organization form online, or $50 if the filing is submitted to the state via postal mail.
