Ten questions we get most often about forming an LLC in Connecticut — with straight answers, not hedged ones.
5–7 business days for standard online processing through the Connecticut Secretary of the 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. Connecticut's state filing fee is $120, paid directly to the Connecticut Secretary of the State. First-year total is $419, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.
No. Connecticut allows non-residents to form and own LLCs in the state. You do need a Connecticut registered agent — that's included in the $299 for the first year. Our Hartford office serves as the agent of record.
Yes. Connecticut 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 Connecticut Certificate 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 Connecticut. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.
Connecticut charges $80 annually for the report. Miss the deadline and the state imposes a late fee, and eventually administrative dissolution if the lapse continues.

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 Connecticut Secretary of the 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.
