Here is a quick overview on starting an LLC in Mississippi
A Mississippi Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a legal structure used to protect your personal assets (home, car, bank account) in the event your business is sued.
An LLC can be used to operate a business, or an LLC can be used to hold assets (such as real estate, vehicles, boats, or aircraft).
Forming an LLC in Mississippi is simple. Search your Mississippi LLC name in the state database and select your Registered Agent.
File your Certificate of Formation with the Mississippi Secretary of State and wait for your LLC to be approved.
You can file your LLC by mail (3-5 business day approval) or you can file it online (immediate approval). In both cases the state filing fee is $50.
After your Mississippi LLC is approved, complete your Operating Agreement and get your Federal Tax ID Number (aka EIN) from the IRS.
In order to keep your Mississippi LLC in compliance, you need to file an LLC Annual Report each year. The fee is $0.
