Forming an LLC in Connecticut
Forming an LLC in Connecticut is not an arduous task and most people manage to do it themselves. If you want to save yourself the time and effort, there are several reputable incorporation companies to choose among. Letting a legal expert check your Operating Agreement is always a good idea, even if you do the rest of the work yourself, because an improperly written Operating Agreement can lead to problems with the IRS.

Connecticut state law requires all LLC’s to have an LLC identifier in their name.

- During step three, the LLC members gather for an Organizational Meeting where they adopt an Operating Agreement.
- Apply for a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) and arrange for a bank account to be opened up for your LLC.
