Arkansas LLC — Quick Facts

$45 State Filing Fee
Annual Report Requirement
$150 Annual Report Fee
Required registered agent

How It Works

Choose your LLC name and file with the state. Your name must be distinguishable from existing businesses registered with the Arkansas Secretary of State. We check name availability, prepare your Articles of Organization, and submit the $45 state filing fee on your behalf. Most filings are processed within a few business days.
Designate a registered agent. Arkansas requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent — someone with a physical address in the state who can accept legal documents during business hours. Our service includes registered agent coverage for the first year at no extra cost.
Get your operating agreement and EIN. An operating agreement defines how your LLC is managed and protects your limited-liability status. We draft one tailored to your structure. We also obtain your federal Employer Identification Number so you can open a business bank account and file taxes.
