Help Me With Sign Louisiana Banking PDF

Louisiana harvest permits form

hi there so I'm just going to briefly go over how to start an LLC in Louisiana now what I recommend is signing up for a go-biz account which has been it's a it's an online portal that's been created by the Secretary of State and what does is consolidates the Secretary of State filing process along with the Department of Revenue and the Louisiana Workforce Commission those two last departments will need to be filed with separately if you decide to go to the PDF filing system the filing fee for LLC's is different between domestic and foreign domestic Fowler's will need to pay $100 of foreign companies will have to pay a hundred and fifty dollars to be given authority to transact business in the state also foreign LLC's when you file you'll need to attach a certificate of good standing with your PDF if you plan on mailing that in to the secretary of the state or you'll notice on the online filing process there's an option to upload your certificate of good standing so the first step is performing a name reservation and normally we recommend that people do a business entity search because it's free and it usually proves that your name is distinguishable from that of any other entity within the state the difference between Louisiana and other states is that they've decided that you need to perform a name reservation in order to get a federal employment identification number and that will be a vital part of your online filing process this knot is essential for PDF files you can go ahead and file without reserving a name if you're pretty confident that no one's gonna have the same name as you that being said you're gonna risk rejection upon submission so oh sorry wrong direction there the step 2 once you've assured that your name is original and you have your federal employment identification number you can log on to account we have tutorials for that in fact if you click on either one of these links it'll give you the online filing process for domestic and foreign LLC's and there'll be a link there as well for a brief tutorial on how to sign up for your go-biz account how to log into that account at any rate you can either sign into your go biz account and turn your name reservation into a business registration that way you're going to be filling out all the forms as a server the Secretary of State the Department of Revenue and for the Louisiana Workforce Commission or you can print off the downloaded PDF form in fact I recommend that you fill it out in your computer and then print it off but you have the option of printing and I'm selling it on a pen and provide all the information that either the online formats or the paper form asks after this has been completed you can pay the filing fee now online file is that's going to conclude your filing process you enter your credit card information into the fields provided click checkout and file and I'll bring you to your dashboard it'll probably show that your filings in process or something and eventually in a few days it'll show that it's been approved and you can go ahead and conduct business now PDF files are going to need to do a couple more things you need to attach a certificate good standing if you're a foreign LLC you're going to need to specify your method of payment so on the transmittal form you notice that there's either credit card so you can enter your credit card number in the expiry date or you can pay by cheque that check needs to be made payable to the Secretary of State for the full filing fee an attached to your form you'll also notice a box that you can check off for expedited filing that's going to be initial an additional sorry $30 on top of your already other 100 or $150 filing fee PDF father's will need to attach all forms together put them in an envelope and send them to this website or pardon me this address here now the federal employment identification of as I said before is something you're gonna need to get before you file online if you decide to file through the paper filing method you can get this after the fact now what it does is appears legitimacy to the IRS that you're a legitimate tax withholding business and they pay your federal taxes and also allow you to open bank accounts get corporate credit cards hire employees pretty much perform any level of financial transaction know your operating agreement this isn't legally required but what it does is allows you to provide any provisions that are not in your initial articles of organization this is something that's probably not applicable for foreign LLC's is a good chance you already have one you essentially what it does is delineates the relationship between members of the company and the company itself this will include the percentage of interest of each managing member the distribution of assets upon dissolution the allocations of funds etc etc we have a free template if you click on here you can download and I'll give you a little bit more information about exactly what is an operating agreement and why you might want to go ahead and dress one finally each year you need to file your annual report and this will renew your business the Secretary of State will send a postcard for the 2016 year after that they're gonna discontinue it and ask all business owners to sign up for a go-biz account until that happens we'll probably send you a postcard that'll say the date in which you initially filed with the Secretary of State that will mark the anniversary on which you need to file your annual report so 30 days before that day you have sort of a 30 day grace period in which you can go on to the Secretary of State website entering your charter number and your renewal ID and edit any applicable information that you find on there if you are a for entity and you fail to do this after just one year they have the Secretary of State and holds a rice to dissolve your company same can be said for domestic although you're given a three-year grace period so it's a little bit a little bit easier at any rate I hope that was helpful and best of luck
