Ten questions we get most often about forming an LLC in Colorado — with straight answers, not hedged ones.
Same day to 5 business days (online) for standard online processing through the Colorado Secretary of State. Once the LLC is approved, we obtain the EIN the same day and deliver your bank-ready packet within a day or two after that.
Our service is $299 flat. Colorado's state filing fee is $50, paid directly to the Colorado Secretary of State. First-year total is $349, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.
No. Colorado allows non-residents to form and own LLCs in the state. You do need a Colorado registered agent — that's included in the $299 for the first year. Our Denver office serves as the agent of record.
Yes. Colorado allows single-member LLCs, which the IRS treats as disregarded entities by default — meaning the LLC's income flows through to the owner's personal tax return.
Four things: your Colorado Articles of Organization filed by a formation specialist, federal EIN obtained from the IRS, a custom operating agreement drafted to your actual ownership structure, and one year of registered agent service in Colorado. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.
Colorado charges $25 annually for the report. Miss the deadline and the state imposes a late fee, and eventually administrative dissolution if the lapse continues.
Yes, Colorado law requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state to receive service of process and official correspondence. Our Denver office serves as your registered agent for the first year as part of the $299.
Yes. After the first year you can renew our service at $119/year, or designate yourself, an employee, or another agent by filing a change-of-agent form with the Colorado Secretary of State. The state typically charges a small fee for the change.
Yes. Our operating agreements are drafted to your actual ownership structure — member names, percentages, voting rights, profit allocations — not a fill-in-the-blank template. Every major U.S. bank accepts them for business account opening.
