What it costs
Forming an LLC in Oregon costs $199 in total. That is one price covering both the Oregon 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.
Oregon publishes its business registry as open data, so we can check name conflicts properly before filing rather than guessing.
How long it takes
Oregon begins processing within about one business day and sends an acknowledgement email when the filing completes. Expedited buys faster preparation and filing on our side.
Where Oregon filings get tripped up
These are the things we have actually run into filing in Oregon, in plain English.
- Your name must spell out LLC or Limited Liability Company
- Oregon requires the designator and will uppercase the whole name on the filing.
- An existing assumed business name does not always block you
- We filed a longer LLC name over an active assumed business name that shared the first two words. Similar is not the same as blocked, which is worth knowing before you abandon a name you like.
- Oregon asks for an individual with direct knowledge
- This is an Oregon-specific field with no equivalent in most states. It has to be a member, manager or authorised representative who actually knows how the business operates.
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 Articles of Organization for you, and handle the state's payment.
What you get
Your stamped Articles of Organization from the state, delivered straight to your account as soon as Oregon issues it. From there you can add an EIN, an operating agreement, membership certificates, or registered agent service.
