Step-by-Step: LLC Formation in Idaho

  1. 1

    Choose a unique business name and check availability on the Idaho Secretary of State website.

  2. 2

    File your Articles of Organization / Certificate of Organization with Idaho (fee: $100).

  3. 3

    Appoint a registered agent (a person or service with a physical address in the state).

  4. 4

    Obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS — free at irs.gov.

  5. 5

    Draft or adopt an LLC Operating Agreement — required by banks and most states.

  6. 6

    File your first annual report (no annual fee in Idaho) by the deadline.

  7. 7

    Open a separate business bank account — never mix personal and business funds.
