Here is a quick overview on starting an LLC in Nebraska
A Nebraska 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 Nebraska is simple. Search your Nebraska LLC name in the state database and select your Registered Agent.
File your Certificate of Organization with the Nebraska Secretary of State and wait for your LLC to be approved.
You can file your LLC by mail or online. Filing your Nebraska LLC by mail costs $105 and approval takes 3-5 business days. Filing your Nebraska online costs $108 and approval takes 1-2 business days.
Note: Filing times may take longer due to the current global situation and government delays. Please see how long does it take to get an LLC in Nebraska.
After your Nebraska LLC is approved, complete your Operating Agreement and get your Federal Tax ID Number (aka EIN) from the IRS.
In order to keep your Nebraska LLC in compliance, you need to file an LLC Biennial Report every 2 years. The fee is $10 and it’s due between January 2nd and April 1st of every odd-numbered year.
