Hi everyone,
I am a beneficiary of EB3 GC applicant and just received my 2 year EAD.
I am in the early stages of forming my LLC (one owner).
Here is what I've done so far:
1. Came up with what I think is a good made-up name for the LLC
2. Registered domain name
3. Searched for name availability and trademarks to ensure uniqueness
4. Filled out my state's Articles of Organization form
I was about to mail the (4) to my state, when I started reading about some aspects of LLC such as having a registered agent, consulting a lawyer, etc.
It seems like a good idea to have a registered agent and a lawyer but I'm not sure which way to go is the best.
Here are the options I'm considering before I file:
1. DIY everything - a no brainer and don't really see any problems in terms of how I do this.
2. Have a discount LLC agency (such as numerous online ones) take care of everything, and pay them to act as a registered agent.
3. Have a local lawyer (that among others fields, specializes in business law) take care of everything and pay them to act as a registered agent (do law firms generally offer the latter?).
4. DIY everything and only hire a registered agent
I would like to hear what you guys think the pros and cons of each of the above options are from your personal experience, and what do you recommend. Also, what would be the lowest cost option (except DIY of course)?
Thanks
