Forming a Mississippi LLC
In Mississippi, an LLC offers liability protection and pass-through taxation for owners. To form an LLC requires filing a certificate of formation with the state. The certificate of formation legally registers your LLC. Without the certificate, an LLC lacks legal status.
LLCs need a registered agent to receive correspondence. The IRS requires LLCs to get an employer ID number for taxes and banking.
To start a Mississippi LLC, file the Certificate of Formation for a $50 fee. It officially creates the LLC, taking one to two days to process. You must file your Mississippi Certificate of Formation online. The first step is gathering required information about your new LLC, before filing it.
Certificate of Formation Details
