Mississippi is a state where getting the name right first time genuinely matters, for the reason below.

Where Mississippi filings get tripped up
These are the things we have actually run into filing in Mississippi, in plain English.
- Mississippi does not put a rejected filing right for you
- The state says so in a red banner on its own portal. A rejected name means starting again. We run the state's own exact-match search before filing rather than risk it.
- A long-dissolved company can still make a name risky
- We found an exact name match that had been dissolved since 2015. Because a rejected filing is not put right for you, we renamed rather than gamble on the state allowing it.
- Your registered agent must be in Mississippi
- The state field for the agent is locked to Mississippi, so an out-of-state agent is not an option.
What we need from you
Your business name, the address for the company, and the names of the members. That is the whole application, and it takes a few minutes. We prepare and file the Certificate of Formation for you, and handle the state's payment.
What you get
Your stamped Certificate of Formation from the state, delivered straight to your account as soon as Mississippi issues it. From there you can add an EIN, an operating agreement, membership certificates, or registered agent service.
