Steps to Forming a Michigan Limited Liability Company
A Michigan LLC is formed by drafting and filing Articles of Organization. Those
Articles must include the following information:
- Name: This must be available for use in Michigan. To determine if your name is available
for use, have ClickAndInc.com do a
business name search.
- Purpose: You must provide your business purpose, typically in one or two sentences.
- Address: Provide the address where your business is to be located. This cannot be
a PO Box.
- Registered Agent: The name and Michigan address of the contact person of your company
should be set forth. This also cannot be a PO Box.
- Signatures: The Articles of Organization should be signed by someone authorized
to form the LLC.
