To start an LLC in Washington, you'll need to follow a series of steps. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started. First, you'll need to choose a business name and check if it's available. You can do this by searching the Washington Secretary of State's website. Once you've chosen a name, you'll need to file articles of organization with the Washington Secretary of State's office. This will require you to provide some basic information about your business, including your business name, address, and registered agent. You'll also need to pay a filing fee. Once your articles of organization are filed, you'll need to obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS. This is a unique number that identifies your business. You'll need to use this number to file taxes and open a business bank account. You'll also need to obtain any necessary licenses and permits from the state of Washington. This may include a sales tax permit, a business license, and a permit to operate a business in your specific industry. Finally, you'll need to create an operating agreement for your LLC. This is a document that outlines the ownership structure and management of your business. It's a good idea to have an operating agreement in place to avoid any disputes among owners. Starting an LLC in Washington can be a complex process, but by following these steps, you can ensure that your business is properly formed and compliant with state laws.
