Normal processing time for a new Utah Foreign LLC is 5-8 business days. For an additional $75 the Utah Secretary of State will process a new Utah LLC filing within 24 hours.

This is the time by which the Utah Department of Commerce will either approve or deny the Foreign LLC application.  Utah Foreign LLC applications must be received by the Department of Commerce before noon Utah time for the process to start that day. Another way to expedite your order is to choose the Express Mail option.  The Express Mail option can cut the document delivery time in half.

If you really need your original approved Application for Authority to Transact Business for a Foreign Limited Liability Company in your hands quickly, the Express Mail option can cut the delivery time in half. The Express Mail option has no effect on the Utah Department of Commerce's processing time. For the quickest turn-around time also choose the Expedited Service option.

S Corporations are taxed differently than C Corporations.  With an S Corporation, business profits may be "passed through" directly to the shareholders.  This avoids the double tax on both corporate and shareholder profits.  S Corporations do not pay any Utah Corporate Income Tax.

We can prepare the S Corporation Election form for you and include it with your final Foreign LLC documents package.

Every Utah Foreign LLC is required to have an address within the state of Utah where official and legal correspondence can be delivered.  The individual or company that is registered with the state of Utah to receive all correspondence on behalf of the Foreign LLC is called a Registered Agent.

You may act as your own Registered Agent, however, many Foreign LLCs hire a Registered Agent because they don't have a physical address within Utah or to provide a distinct level of privacy. 

We can act as your Utah Foreign LLC Registered Agent.  This is an annual service.  We will forward all correspondence to you and will remind you when it is time to renew your UT Registered Agent services.

A Utah Good Standing Certficate is proof of the existence of your new Utah Foreign LLC. The Certificate is issued by the Utah Department of Commerce and is proof that your UT Foreign LLC is not behind on any of its Utah Department of Commerce Corporate obligations.

A Utah Good Standing Certificate is often required for loans, to apply for business licenses, or for tax or other business purposes in the state of Utah or in any other state.

We can get your Utah Good Standing Certificate immediately after the Utah Department of Commerce has approved your Foreign LLC.

An FEIN is like a Social Security Number for your Utah Foreign LLC.  We can get your FEIN on the same day that your Application for Authority to Transact Business for a Foreign Limited Liability Company are approved by the Utah Department of Commerce.

You can get your FEIN before your articles are approved by the Utah Department of Commerce but it's a good idea to wait until after approval.  Your filing may be rejected or the Foreign LLC name that you want may not be approved.  Changing information on an FEIN filing is not a trivial exercise with the IRS.

While you're not required to have a Foreign LLC Kit and Seal for your new Utah Foreign LLC they do come in handy.  The UT Foreign LLC Kit consists of a beautiful customized binder, stock certificates, a stock ledger and your custom Foreign LLC Seal.

The Foreign LLC Seal is used to emboss important company documents, such as stock certificates.  The binder also includes dividers so you can use it for all of your Utah Foreign LLC record keeping.

Most new Utah Foreign LLCs are required to get some kind of state, regional or local permits or business licenses.  The task to figure out exactly what you need can be daunting.

We can determine exactly which forms you need to fill out, fill them out for you and file the forms with the appropriate government agency where possible.
