Colorado LLC Registration and Formation

Colorado LLC Registration & Formation

LLC company formation in Colorado is governed by Article 80 of 2016 Colorado Revised Statutes. The procedure for registration and formation of LLC is as follows:

Step#1: Hire a registered agent

According to CO Rev Stat § 7-90-701 (2016), an LLC will be required to maintain a registered agent if you are planning to form a Colorado business. A registered agent is required for both domestic business entities as well as foreign entities authorized to transact business in the state of Colorado. We would take this opportunity to share with you the fact that we are one of the top registered agents in the state and have been responsible for over 11,494 businesses set up in Colorado.

Step#2: Name Registration

One of the key requirements of company formation in Colorado is reserving or registration of a business entity name. A foreign LLC that wants to conduct business in the state of Colorado will have to register a “true name” pursuant to CO Rev Stat § 7-90-604 (2016). A foreign business entity is required to submit “Statement of Registration of True Name” online.

A domestic LLC will have to register their business entity name pursuant to CO Rev Stat § 7-90-601 (2016). This is also known as a business “Trade Name” and needs to be registered with the Secretary of State’s office.

Step#3: Articles of Organization and Statement of Foreign Entity Authority

If you are planning to form a Colorado business LLC then the most important step is to prepare and file the proper documents for a Limited Liability Company. You will be required to file Articles of Organization for a domestic LLC and “Statement of Foreign Entity Authority” for a Foreign LLC. Depending on the nature of the business entity, the documentation can be submitted online or with the Secretary of State’s office.
