Illinois LLC formation

A complete formation service—not an Articles-only checkout.

StateFormed combines the Illinois filing, EIN filing, standard company records, and direct formation support in every package.

What is included

Formation built around the actual Illinois workflow.

StateFormed is designed for ordinary Illinois domestic LLC formations. Customers select their own structure and provide factual information. StateFormed prepares and submits the authorized filing as an independent filing service.

1. Business-name review

The proposed LLC name is screened against Illinois naming rules and public business records. Final approval belongs to the Illinois Secretary of State.

2. Articles preparation and filing

StateFormed prepares the filing from customer-provided facts, reviews it for completeness, and submits the authorized Articles of Organization. The standard $150 state fee is included in the package total.

3. Federal EIN application and filing

After the LLC is legally formed, StateFormed prepares and submits the EIN application using the customer’s responsible-party information and signed third-party authorization. The customer—not StateFormed—remains the responsible party.

4. Organized company record set

Eligible single-member LLCs receive filed Articles, state confirmation, EIN confirmation, a standard operating agreement completed with customer-provided facts, initial member consent, banking resolution, ownership summary, and annual-report instructions.

5. Optional continuity and launch services

Customers can select Formation + Registered Agent + Compliance for $200 above Formation, adding first-year registered-agent service, annual-report filing service, and compliance reminders. Business Launch instead combines Formation with a professional five-page website from Social Parameter Digital; Registered Agent + Compliance is optional.

Best fit: straightforward Illinois domestic LLCs with a U.S.-based responsible party. Series LLCs, professional entities, multi-member custom arrangements, foreign-owned structures, custom legal provisions, and tax-election advice require separate review or professional referral.
