Starting an LLC in Connecticut means filing the Certificate of Organization with the Secretary of the State and paying the state's $120 filing fee. Once Connecticut approves it, your LLC exists as a separate legal entity.

- Name a registered agent. Connecticut requires a registered agent with a physical address in the state. Add ours for $10/month or name your own.
- File the Certificate of Organization. We prepare it, list your registered agent, submit it to the Secretary of the State, and pay the $120 fee. If Connecticut rejects anything, we fix and refile at no charge.
- Handle the follow-ups. Get a free EIN from the IRS, adopt an operating agreement, open a business bank account, and calendar any initial or annual report.
