1. Choose a Name for Your LLC

Your LLC's name must be distinguishable from other business entities registered in Missouri. You can check name availability on the Missouri Secretary of State's website.

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 Missouri.

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 Missouri 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 Missouri to outline the management structure and operating procedures of your LLC.

5. Obtain an EIN

Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. This is necessary for tax purposes and to open a business bank account.

Without an EIN there is no corporate veil protecting your personal assets.

6. Comply with Local Regulations

Check with Texas County Clerk's Office for any local permits or licenses that may be required for your business.

7. File Annual Reports

Missouri requires LLCs to file an annual report. Ensure you comply with this requirement to maintain good standing.

Some states also require quarterly reports. So make sure to double check with the Missouri Secretary of State.

For more detailed information, you can visit the Secretary of State's website.
