Dan,
You can probably do it yourself. Contact the secretary of your state and find out what it entails. It can be as simple as filling out a template and a transmittal form and paying the fee, which is usually $100. I formed all my corporations myself. I live in GA and the process is real straight forward. My buddy had his attorney do his for a cost of $500. What a waste of money.

Has anyone used an online service for formation of an LLC. The cost is $200 bucks including state fees which seems reasonable. Also, they want to know who my registered agent is. Can this be me?
thanks,
Dan Fletcher

My vote is for the do-it-yourselfers on the premise that if one can’t fill out a form, they might not need a LLC. If you call the state office that handles LLC’s, they’ll mail you the forms that you need.
Read the instructions carefully. In Illinois, the forms must be typewritten, not printed from a computer. I had to go to a local college to find a typewriter. They had three v. almost a thousand computers. Maybe the state would have let it slide because they are using up old forms, but it wasn’t worth a delay of several months to find out. Check your state rules.
