What it costs

Forming an LLC in Nebraska costs $199 in total. That is one price covering both the Nebraska Secretary of State's filing fee, which we pay on your behalf, and our service for preparing and filing the paperwork. There is nothing else to pay to get your LLC formed.

Nebraska is one of two states we file in that provides no formation form at all. The Certificate of Organization has to be drafted to the statute and uploaded, which we do for you.

How long it takes

Nebraska reviews filings and states about a week on its own portal. We track the filing and deliver the file-stamped copy as soon as the state issues it. Nebraska does not sell a priority tier online, so expedited buys faster preparation and filing on our side.

Where Nebraska filings get tripped up

These are the things we have actually run into filing in Nebraska, in plain English.

Nebraska has no online name availability check at all
The state's official route for checking a name is a written request to its office. The public register exists but is behind a bot check. Nebraska names “name not available” as its top reason for rejection, and a rejection costs about a week, so this is a state where the name is worth being careful about.
A typed signature will get your filing rejected
Nebraska rejected one of our filings purely because the signature on the uploaded certificate was set in a font rather than being a conformed signature. We now use the conformed form on every Nebraska filing. It is the kind of thing that is obvious only after it costs you a week.
Nebraska requires a newspaper notice after formation
State law requires a notice of organisation to be published in a newspaper after the LLC is formed. It is a real obligation, it is separate from the filing, and it is not something we file for you.
Members do not belong on the certificate
The statute asks only for the company name, the designated office address and the agent's details. Anything more, including members and ownership percentages, would be published into a public record for no reason. We file the minimum the law asks for.

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 Organization for you, and handle the state's payment.

What you get

Your stamped Certificate of Organization from the state, delivered straight to your account as soon as Nebraska issues it. From there you can add an EIN, an operating agreement, membership certificates, or registered agent service.
