Where Vermont filings get tripped up
These are the things we have actually run into filing in Vermont, in plain English.
- The designated office address has to be exactly right
- Vermont's Articles list a designated office, and a mistake there appears on the approved record and has to be corrected afterwards. We check that line before filing.
- The registered agent needs a Vermont address and must consent
- Vermont asks you to confirm the agent's consent on the form itself, and the agent must have a physical address in the state.
- The state asks for your industry
- Vermont requires a business activity code on the filing. We pick it from what you tell us your business does.
- An annual report is due after each fiscal year
- Vermont LLCs file an annual report within three months after the end of their fiscal year.
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 Vermont issues it. From there you can add an EIN, an operating agreement, membership certificates, or registered agent service.
