What are the requirements for an LLC in Washington state?

Limited liability company (LLC) is one of the most popular business structures in Washington state, as it is easy in terms of formation and does not have many requirements for the business owner. Here are some formation documents and requirements that you need to prepare in order to form an LLC in Washington:

• At least 1 member of the LLC
• Name of the Washington LLC and its business address
• The date your Washington State LLC officially becomes effective (immediately or within 90 days from the filing date)
• The LLC's life span (perpetual or a specific term)
• Your LLC’s registered agent information
• The consent of the Registered Agent to function as the Registered Agent

After providing all the requirements above, you must fill them in the Certificate of Formation and file it with the Washington Office of the Secretary of State.

Alternatively, you can hire a Commercial Registered Agent to handle the formation documents and business requirements for your Washington LLC. If you are looking for a commercial registered agent, check out One IBC^®’s Washington Company Formation service and get your business a reputable agent.
