2. Name your LLC. When choosing to name your LLC, you can check with the state offices to ensure your name is available.  Many times this will require you to check with the Secretary of State for the state where you are registering.  In Oklahoma, this is the Secretary of State’s offices.  Once choosing a name, you may register for the name to hold it while you complete your paperwork.
3. Choose a Registered Agent. A registered agent is the person who files paperwork, reports, and any legal forms on behalf of the LLC.  Further, the registered agent can be the owner of the LLC.  But, the registered agent must also live in the state the LLC is operating in.
4. File the Articles of Organization. The Articles of Organization provide the basic information of your LLC.  This generally includes the name of the registered agent, the name of the LLC, and the mission or purpose of the LLC.
