What it costs
Forming an LLC in Utah costs $199 in total. That is one price covering both the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code'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.
How long it takes
Utah approves instantly in the ordinary case. Our filings have been accepted at submission with the stamped copy ready within minutes, and we deliver it in the same sitting. Utah does sell a priority tier, but since ordinary filings are already accepted instantly, expedited mainly buys same-sitting handling of your documents on our side.
Where Utah filings get tripped up
These are the things we have actually run into filing in Utah, in plain English.
- An administratively dissolved company keeps its name
- Utah protects a dissolved company's name through its reinstatement window, so an inactive company can still block you. We run the state's own authoritative checker before filing. We have seen this be the customer's own lapsed company — if that happens to you, reinstating it is often a better answer than forming a second one, and we will tell you so before filing.
- Certain words send your name to a human reviewer
- Utah flags some words for internal agency review even when the public checker says the name is available. That adds a couple of business days to an otherwise instant state. It is not a rejection, just a queue.
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 Certificate of Organization from the state, delivered straight to your account as soon as Utah issues it. From there you can add an EIN, an operating agreement, membership certificates, or registered agent service.
