It will cost you $50 filing fee to file the articles of organization with the Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau (CSCL), which is part of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). For 24-hour expedited processing you will need to pay an additional $50 ($100 in total) or more for faster processing than 24 hours.
1. Name your LLC in compliance with Michigan’s naming requirements.
2. Choose your registered agent.
3. File the Articles of Organization with the Bureau.
4. Create an LLC operating agreement (optional but recommended).
5. Apply for an EIN (optional but recommended).
Though it has its benefits, an LLC has some disadvantages as well. To name a few: it has costs to set up and maintain during the year, requires more paperwork and reporting to the state (like an annual report), you need a registered agent (you can be your own but if you hire a service it’s another cost), and you might need to get business licenses and permits for your LLC. If you’re a sole proprietor on the other hand, you avoid these costs and requirements.
It takes about 10 days to get your LLC approved in Michigan, unless you paid for expedited processing.
