Forming an LLC in Indiana

How does the LLC formation process work exactly? The first step to forming an LLC in Indiana is submitting Articles of Organization to Indiana’s Secretary of State. Next, you’ll likely want to get an EIN, create your operating agreement, open a bank account, and register with key state-level departments. Follow along for a comprehensive guide on Indiana LLC registration.

Below is the process most Indiana LLCs follow for formation:

  • Form and file your Indiana LLC Articles of Organization
  • Pay the filing fee: $98 online, $100 by mail
  • Apply for a free tax ID (EIN) from the IRS
  • Create your Indiana LLC Operating Agreement
  • Open a bank account for your Indiana LLC
  • Register at Indiana’s Department of Revenue
  • Register at Indiana’s Department of Workforce Development

Ready to form your Indiana LLC? At Indiana Registered Agent LLC, our fast formation service gets you up and running with one-day processing! We don’t just file your Articles and call it a day—we provide a comprehensive formation package, with custom documents, a year of a registered agent service and more for just $247, including state filing fees!

What Do I Include in Indiana LLC Articles of Organization?

Indiana LLC Articles of Organization require basic information about your company’s name, office, registered agent, dissolution and management.

Name and Principal Office

You must include “Limited Liability Company” or an abbreviated form of these words in your company’s name.

Your name can’t imply your LLC has a different purpose than it really does (no calling your restaurant “Bank of Delicious”). Also, your name can’t already be in use by another entity in Indiana. Check for availability on the Secretary of States’ Public Business Search site.

Your principal office is the main office for your company. This office doesn’t have to be in Indiana.

Indiana Registered Agent Information

An Indiana registered agent has a physical and a mailing address in Indiana and accepts legal documents, service of process, and official notifications for your LLC.

A registered agent is required by Indiana Statute §IC 23-0.5-4-1. States require registered agents because they need to ensure there’s a reliable channel of communication. This benefits both you and the state—the last thing your business needs is to miss a court summons because a process server couldn’t get ahold of anyone.

At Indiana Registered Agent LLC, we’re in the business of providing expert registered agent service. We can provide our service to your Indiana LLC for just $49 a year.

Dissolution

Dissolution is when a business ends its existence. You can choose for your Indiana LLC to be perpetual (meaning it will continue to exist until dissolved). Or, you can choose a date that you’d like your LLC to dissolve.

Management

Your Indiana LLC can be managed in two different ways: by its members or by one or more managers. Managers don’t have to be members of the LLC.

How Do I Submit Indiana LLC Articles of Organization?

You can submit Indiana LLC Articles of Organization to the Indiana Secretary of State either online or by mail. Or, hire us, and we’ll create and submit your Articles as part of our comprehensive formation package.

Indiana LLC FAQs

After filing your Articles of Organization, you’re still not quite done getting your business off the ground. Below are some common questions about the next steps.

Do I Need an EIN for my Indiana LLC?

Most likely. An EIN (federal tax ID) is required by many banks in order to open a business bank account. You’ll also need an EIN if any of these situations are true for your LLC:

  • You have employees.
  • You file Employment, Excise, or Alcohol/Tobacco/Firearms returns.
  • You withhold taxes on income (other than wages) paid to a non-resident alien.
  • You have a Keogh plan.
  • You are involved in a trust, estate, real estate mortgage investment conduit, non-profit organization, farmer co-op, or are a plan administrator.

You can apply for an EIN from the IRS.

Do I need to file a Beneficial Ownership Information report for my Indiana LLC?

Most newly-formed business entities in the US must file a federal Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) starting January 1, 2024. This report is due within 90 days of company formation if you form your business in 2024, or within 30 days if formed anytime after that. If your company is formed anytime before 2024, your report must be filed by January 1, 2025. It is free to file. You can find a list of BOI filing exemptions on the FinCEN website.

If this sounds like a lot and you don’t want to have to bother with it, we don’t blame you. As business filing professionals, we’re prepared to file your BOI report with FinCEN on your behalf for just $9.

What information is required on my BOI report?

You’ll need to disclose name, address, and personal or tax ID information for your company and those with the most authority over your business. This includes individuals with substantial control over company decisions, anyone who owns 25% or more of your company, and the person(s) responsible for filing your formation paperwork.

Do I really need a website?

The vast majority of businesses that operate in the U.S. have websites. That’s because most people search the internet for the products and services they want. Your website will be where people find you, how they learn about your products or services, and how they might be able to purchase these things from you.

Is an Operating Agreement Required for my Indiana LLC?

Although operating agreements aren’t required by law, they are useful documents. In an operating agreement, you can spell out the details of important issues specific to your LLC, such as voting rights and disbursements. A well-written operating agreement offers protection in tough situations like ownership disputes.

With our formation services package, we include a custom operating agreement. We’ve spent years refining and improving our custom documents, so we can provide your Indiana LLC with a truly useful agreement, not just a standard form.

What Do I Need to Open an Indiana LLC Bank Account?

While every bank is a little different, EINs, operating agreements and membership certificates are commonly requested when opening an account. Hire us, and we can provide you with bank-ready custom documents, including an operating agreement and membership certificates.

How Do I Register with Indiana’s Department of Revenue?

Indiana’s Department of Revenue uses an online tax management system called INTax. Create an account to manage your Indiana LLC’s taxes online. There are a variety of Indiana state taxes your LLC may need to manage, such as food and beverage taxes, sales taxes, and withholding.

Is Registration with the DWD Required?

Registration with the Department of Workforce Development is required if your Indiana LLC has employees. Through the DWD website, you can complete reporting requirements and manage unemployment insurance.

What is an Indiana LLC Business Entity Report?

A Business Entity Report ensures that Indiana is up-to-date on your company’s ownership and contact information. You’ll need to submit this report every two years. The report is due the same month your business was first formed. The filing fee is $50 by mail or $32 online through INBiz.

Advantages of an Indiana LLC

Indiana LLCs offer benefits including privacy, simple management and low cost maintenance.

  • Easy Management
    There’s a reason LLCs are popular for small businesses—compared to a corporation, LLCs are easier to manage. LLCs don’t have a formal management structure with officers or a board of directors. Instead, an LLC can appoint one or more managers, or members can simply manage themselves.
  • Low-Cost Maintenance
    Indiana’s Business Entity Report is only required every two years instead of annually, and the fee is as low as $32 for online filing.
  • No Double Taxation
    Because LLCs are pass-through entities, they can avoid one of the tax hits that a corporation receives. An LLC’s profits are taxed after distribution to members (on their individual tax returns). Corporations’ income is taxed at the entity-level AND after distribution, a drawback known as “double taxation.”

Put Your Worries to Rest

Your attention should be on the products or services of your new LLC—not the paperwork. We can create and file your Indiana Articles of Organization, provide you registered agent service, include custom internal documents, and more. Sleep easier with our expert formation services package.
