Articles of Organization Preparation

We'll run a search to identify unforseen conflicts with your chosen name and send the Articles of Organization to your email address the same day you order (usually within the hour).

Sign and fax the documentation to our toll-free number. Within 3 days, we submit the LLC over-the-counter to the Secretary of State in Sacramento.

Special handling fees are paid to the Secretary of State when the Articles are submitted in person. As soon as the Secretary of State has processed the registration, (5-7 days with our standard service) we send two certified copies of the endorsed articles bearing the State of California 12-digit entity filing number.

We'll send the Operating Agreement, completed Statement of Information and Member's Organizational Action at the same time.

Comprehensive California LLC Operating Agreement

Standard LLC formations include an Operating Agreement at no charge.
Key points to your LLC's Operating Agreement include:

(a) method of admitting members;
(b) frequency and method of calling meetings;
(c) frequency of distributions to members;
(d) draws by members;
(e) maintenance of records;
(f) members' rights to inspect records;
(g) member and managers fiduciary duties;
(h) ramification of member's failure to make a contribution when due;
(i) transferability of membership interests;
(j) when and how members may sell or transfer their interest;
(k) ability of assignees to participate in management;
(l) First Right of Refusal of existing membership to purchase
selling member's interest

Modifications can be made at no charge, if you request the amendment within 30 days.

Expedited California LLC Registration

We offer the Expedited Filing Service so your Articles of Organization can be filed with the Secretary of State's Sacramento office within 24 hours.

Expedited orders placed by 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time are usually filed the same day, but always by 5:00 p.m. the following business day.

Good Standing Certificate

The Secretary of State charges $20 to issue a Good Standing Certificate.

Sacramento Over-the-Counter Filing Costs

The Secretary of State charges a $15 "Special Handling" fee to accept applications in person at the Sacramento office. This is in addition to the normal $70 application fee to submit an LLC.

This reduces the Secretary of State's "turn-around" time from 1 to even 2 months down to just about a week. Trying to save this by sending an LLC application by overnight mail (or FedEx, or UPS) will not reduce the processing time.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed

If you are not satisfied with our services for any reason, call us during normal business hours and we will process your refund within 7 days. Fees which have been paid to the Secretary of State are non-refundable.
