Starting a new business is both exciting and daunting. There is a lot for you to think about and one of those things is how to structure it. There are different business formations for you to consider, such as a sole proprietorship, LLC, partnership, or a type of corporation.
Ultimately, you may decide to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Nebraska. The state has some specific requirements you must meet and fees you must pay, but it is generally worth it because it protects your business and provides certain tax advantages.
One of the most important reasons for you to form an LLC is that it protects your personal assets from debts incurred by the business. An LLC also gives your business credibility and makes it easier for you to get loans when necessary.
The IRS recognizes an LLC and defines it simply as a business structure allowed by state statute. All 50 states have provisions for the formation of an LLC. The statutes vary in requirements, and Nebraska is no different.
An overview of the Nebraska requirements for forming an LLC includes:
Although filing an operating agreement is not required in Nebraska, the state strongly recommends that LLCs do this.
Along with all the required documents, a filing fee of $103 is charged. This does not include any other expenses you may have, such as the IRS fee for obtaining an EIN, licensing and permit fees, legal consulting, etc.
There are many companies that provide some of these services. Some provide additional services, such as helping you with your business bank account, providing you with registered agent service, and more. You can trust all LLC formation companies to be sure that your filings and their services comply with Nebraska law, but each has their own pros and cons. Now we’ll review some of the best LLC services you can consider.

There appear to be no hidden charges.
This service is best suited for those who need limited services on an economy budget. What is provided for $39 seems to be a bargain: An operating agreement and one year’s registered agent service.
You can carefully follow all the requirements and create your LLC on your own. Be sure you provide all required information and fees, including the state fees, and obtain the correct licenses and permits. You can find out what is needed both legally and tax wise.
On the other hand, you can opt to use an LLC formation service and turn over the red tap to the formation company so you, as the business owner, can begin actually working on your business.
The LLC formation companies offer similar services and similar fees. All have good customer reviews. It is up to you to review each website to see which one seems the best suited for you and the way you work.
