File Articles of Organization You can create an Ohio SMLLC by filing articles of organization with the SOS. The articles must include the name of your new SMLLC, the name and address of the SMLLC's statutory agent, the agent's signature accepting the appointment, and a few other basic details.
An LLC is a domestic company in one state — its state of organization. It is considered a foreign company in every other jurisdiction. If an LLC wants to transact business in a state other than its state of organization, it will have to register as a foreign LLC with that other state's business entity filing office.
Foreign entity registration is required anytime you wish to legally conduct business in another state. For example, if you formed your business in Nevada but you live and intend to operate in California, then your business will be considered foreign in California and require registration.
