New Hampshire official formation packet
Download the New Hampshire certificate of formation packet used to create an LLC with the state. This is the official formation document plus support files, not an operating agreement.
A New Hampshire formation packet built around the official certificate of formation, with customer support and lifetime updates if the official form is revised.
This is the certificate of formation you file with the state to create the LLC. It is a public record, not the internal ownership contract.
One $9.99 purchase covers instant download, email support, and replacement files if we update this packet.
Most banks and multi-member LLCs still need a separate operating agreement. It is not filed with these articles.
This state packet includes 2 documents in print-ready PDF format. Labels describe each file's role, not the internal filename.
Articles vs operating agreement
This packet is built around the official New Hampshire certificate of formation. Filing it with the state creates the LLC as a public legal entity.
The $9.99 price is not for inventing a government form. It covers the current official blank, companion files, email support, and lifetime updates if the official form changes.
This is not an operating agreement. Articles create the company; the operating agreement is the internal contract among members.
Need the internal rulebook too? After you file, most customers also download a member-managed or manager-managed operating agreement for New Hampshire.

No. The certificate of formation is the public filing that creates the LLC. An operating agreement is a separate internal contract that sets ownership, voting, profit splits, and management. Most customers need both.
Yes. This packet is built around Certificate of Formation. If the state later revises the official blank, lifetime updates cover a replacement packet.
When the state publishes a free official form, that blank is still free on the government site. This product packages the current form we carry, any companion files listed on this page, email support, and lifetime updates if we replace the packet. It is not a filing service and it does not pay the state’s filing fee.
This packet currently includes 2 documents in print-ready PDF format. The list on this page is the customer-facing inventory.
New Hampshire generally does not file the operating agreement with these articles, but banks, lenders, and multi-member LLCs almost always want one. Choose member-managed if every owner will run the company, or manager-managed if appointed managers will run it.
No. ILRG provides self-help forms and information. You complete the documents and file them with the state, or use the official online portal where that is required. Consult a licensed attorney for tax elections, professional-license entities, or unusual ownership structures.
No. The $100 Certificate of Formation fee is paid separately. Online filing adds a $2 electronic handling charge. The later annual report is a $100 filing.
