Step 1: Obtain Your Organizational Certificate Forms

You may get your Idaho Certificate of Organization via mail or in person.

Step two: Fill out the Organizational Certificate

We will assist you in completing the Idaho Certificate of Organization form in this stage. The “Articles” are divided into four categories.

To finish each Article, you will need to know the following information:

Name and address of the entity

Name of the Registered Agent and the Address of the Registered Office

At least one LLC governor’s name and address

Name and address of the entity

A unique and clever company name is crucial, but it is not as necessary as a legally valid name.

When selecting a name for your company, you must ensure that the name:

fulfils Idaho’s naming standards

is not currently in use by another Idaho company

Adhere to the Idaho Naming Guidelines:

Your name must include one of the words or acronyms listed below: limited liability company, limited company, L.L.C., LLC, L.C., or LC. “Limited” may be shortened to “Ltd.,” while “business” can be shortened to “Co.”

If the LLC is a professional business (such as a law firm), the name may contain the term “professional” before the word “limited” or the letter “P” before any of the authorised abbreviations.

Your name cannot include wording that falsely states or implies government connection.

Many states have prohibited terms (such as bank) that must be approved before they may be used in company names.

Your name must be distinct from any other businesses already registered with the Idaho Secretary of State.

Examine Name Availability:

Is your name legal in Idaho? Check the Idaho Secretary of State website to see if the name you desire isn’t already taken.
Obtain a Domain Name

We suggest that you check to see whether your company’s name is accessible as a web domain. Even if you don’t intend to create a company website right away, you may wish to purchase the URL to prevent others from doing so.

Registered Office and Registered Agent

A registered agent receives and transmits legal paperwork on behalf of your LLC. When you form your Idaho LLC, you must provide your registered agent and registered office address.

Your registered agent may be anybody over the age of 18 who resides in Idaho. During normal business hours, your registered agent must always be present at the registered office.

Name and address of at least one LLC governor

You must name at least one LLC governor. A governor is either the manager or a member of a manager-managed limited liability corporation.

Step three: File the Organizational Certificate

You must submit the Certificate of Organization with the Idaho Secretary of State to register your LLC.

There are two options for submitting your Certificate of Organization:

Send a physical copy via the mail or in person.
After Your Idaho LLC Is Formally Incorporated

After you’ve submitted your Certificate of Organization, you should do the following:

Make a Business Agreement

Obtain an EIN

Establish a Business Bank Account

Purchase Licenses and Permits

Make a Business Agreement

An Idaho LLC Operating Agreement is a legal document that defines your LLC’s ownership structure and member functions.

Although an Operating Agreement is not necessary in Idaho to incorporate an LLC, it is a good idea to have one. You may begin working on your operating agreement before, during, or after filing your Certificate of Organization.

Your operating agreement will be held in the private business records of your LLC; you will not submit it with the state.

Obtain an EIN

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is your LLC’s equivalent of a social security number. If you want to recruit staff or create company bank accounts, you’ll need an EIN.

Establish a Business Bank Account

It is critical to use specific business banking and credit accounts to safeguard your company’s corporate veil. When you combine your personal and company accounts, your personal assets (house, vehicle, and other possessions) are at danger if your LLC is sued.

Purchase Licenses and Permits

When forming an LLC, you should consider if your company requires any licences or permissions to operate legally. On the federal level, a few corporate operations need licences and/or permissions.

Learn how to secure the licences and permissions required for your company, or hire an expert to handle it for you:

Federal: For federal business licences and permits, see the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

State: Visit the Idaho Business Licenses website to apply for or learn more about licences, permits, and registration.

Local: Inquire with your county clerk regarding local licences and permissions.
