2. Appoint a Registered Agent

A registered agent is required for your LLC. This can be an individual or a business entity authorized to do business in Arkansas.

In most places you can act as your company's registered agent, just know your information will be public record.

3. File the Certificate of Formation

Submit the Certificate of Formation to the Arkansas Secretary of State. This can be done either online or by mail.

4. Create an Operating Agreement

Although not required by every state, operating agreements are recommended in Arkansas to outline the management structure and operating procedures of your LLC.

5. Obtain an EIN
