Ten questions we get most often about forming an LLC in New Jersey — with straight answers, not hedged ones.
5–7 business days for standard online processing through the New Jersey Division of Revenue. 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. New Jersey's state filing fee is $125, paid directly to the New Jersey Division of Revenue. First-year total is $424, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.
No. New Jersey allows non-residents to form and own LLCs in the state. You do need a New Jersey registered agent — that's included in the $299 for the first year. Our Trenton office serves as the agent of record.
Yes. New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.
New Jersey charges $75 annually for the report. Miss the deadline and the state imposes a late fee, and eventually administrative dissolution if the lapse continues.
Yes, New Jersey 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 Trenton 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 New Jersey Division of Revenue. 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.
