Your LLC Questions, Answered

Starting a business can feel complex. We're here to provide clear answers to some of the most common questions entrepreneurs ask.

Get StartedSee More FAQS

LLCs are the most popular business structure because they provide liability protection without the red tape of a corporation. This means your personal assets are protected from business debts, giving you peace of mind. For a detailed look at how it compares to other structures, see our Entity Comparison Guide.

Every state requires a core formation document, usually called the Articles of Organization, to be filed with the Secretary of State. This document officially creates your business. We handle this entire filing process for you, ensuring it's done correctly so you can focus on your business.

With Swyft Filings, you can start your LLC for $0 plus state filing fees. The total cost depends on your state’s filing requirements.

While timelines vary by state, standard processing typically takes 7 to 10 business days. We also offer expedited options if you need to get your business up and running faster. Our specialists can give you a more precise estimate based on your chosen state

Your LLC name must be unique in your state and end with a designation like 'LLC' or 'Limited Liability Company.' It can't be misleading or imply a government affiliation. As part of our service, we check to see if your desired name is available to ensure your filing is accepted.

It is highly recommended. While not always required by the state, an operating agreement is essential for protecting your limited liability status. It defines how your business is run and proves it’s a separate entity from you personally. Most banks require one to open a business bank account, making it a critical step to get your business running.
