Ten questions we get most often about forming an LLC in Georgia — with straight answers, not hedged ones.
5–7 business days for standard online processing through the Georgia 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. Georgia's state filing fee is $100, paid directly to the Georgia Secretary of State. First-year total is $399, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.
No. Georgia allows non-residents to form and own LLCs in the state. You do need a Georgia registered agent — that's included in the $299 for the first year. Our Atlanta office serves as the agent of record.
Yes. Georgia 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 Georgia 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 Georgia. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.
Georgia charges $50 annually for the report. Miss the deadline and the state imposes a late fee, and eventually administrative dissolution if the lapse continues.
Yes, Georgia 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 Atlanta 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 Georgia 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.
