FAQ
Do I have to file an annual report? Business entities in Ohio are not required to file an annual report.
Many LLC owners ask, "How do I make a simple LLC operating agreement?" While an operating agreement is a legal document, you don't necessarily need a lawyer to help you, but acquiring legal expertise is always a good idea. It is possible to create your own operating agreement.
No, LLCs in Ohio aren't required to have an operating agreement. However, operating agreements are necessary for several important business processes, like opening a bank account and maintaining your limited liability status.
Register with the Ohio Secretary of State. Obtain a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN). Open a bank account. Register with the Ohio Department of Taxation at Tax.Ohio.
Ohio LLC Operating Agreements list all LLC owners (known as “Members”), their contribution amounts, and their ownership interest percentages. They also establish the general operating rules of your LLC, including how voting will work, buy-out provisions, and the management structure.
Ohio Rev Code § 1701.11 states that a corporation's directors MAY adopt regulations. But Ohio statutes don't explicitly state that bylaws or regulations are required. However, bylaws are essential for a well-functioning corporation.
Governance structure: Prior to the new law, Ohio LLCs had to be organized as either member-managed or manager-managed companies. The new law eliminates this distinction and permits LLCs to organize their governance structure as they see fit.
Corporate bylaws are a company's foundational governing document. They lay out how things should run day-to-day and the processes for making important decisions. They serve as a legal contract between the corporation and its shareholders, directors, and officers and set the protocol for how the organization operates.
Business entities in Ohio are not required to file an annual report. However, certain types of entities and registrations are required to file reports at different intervals.
If you're looking to start an Ohio LLC, you must file the Articles of Organization with the Ohio Secretary of State. You can download the Articles of Incorporation packet online at the Secretary of State website. Once your Articles of Organization are approved, your LLC is officially formed.
