Michigan LLC

We'll file all your documents with the secretary of state

When you file an LLC ( Limited Liability Company ) with the secretary of state, you gain the advantages of limited liability for the entity's debts and obligations. An LLC combines aspects of partnerships and corporations, so it is less formal and more flexible than a typical corporation, yet offers protection and advantages that are almost the same.

Advantages of an LLC:

  • Limited Liability: Owners of a LLC have the liability protection of a corporation. A LLC exists as a separate entity much like a corporation. Members cannot be held personally liable for debts unless they have signed a personal guarantee.
  • Flexible Profit Distribution: Limited liability companies can select varying forms of distribution of profits. Unlike a common partnership where the split is 50-50, LLC have much more flexibility.
  • No Minutes: Corporations are required to keep formal minutes, have meetings, and record resolutions. The LLC business structure requires no corporate minutes or resolutions and is easier to operate.
  • Flow Through Taxation: All your business losses, profits, and expenses flow through the company to the individual members. You avoid the double taxation of paying corporate tax and individual tax. Generally, this will be a tax advantage, but circumstances can favor a corporate tax structure.

Michigan Specific Filing Requirements:

  • Michigan requires all LLCs that do business in the state to include 'Limited Liability Company' or the abbreviations 'L.L.C.' or 'LLC' in their name. Professional LLCs can also be formed in Michigan, provided that every member and manager is licensed to provide the professional service provided by the LLC.
  • The Articles of Organization that are filed with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Bureau of Commercial Services must include the LLC's name, address, purpose of business, and, if it will be managed by members, a statement saying so that is included in Article V of the Articles of Organization. LLCs must also specify a registered agent, though Michigan refers to them as resident agents. This agent must have a physical address in Michigan, and can be a resident of the state, a business in the state, or a foreign company registered to do business in the state.
  • Foreign LLCs can register to do business in Michigan by filing a certificate of good standing/existence from its state of formation, along with an Application for Certificate of Authority to Transact Business in Michigan, with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. If a Foreign LLC's name is not available, it can adopt an assumed name to do business in Michigan.

State Information:

Michigan has long been known for its strong industry, it is the home to Detroit 'Motor City', has a very robust research and development sector, and is a major source of America's engineering jobs. Michigan has also recently made itself much more attractive to corporations, both big and small, by ridding itself of a complicated tax code in favor of a flat, 6% corporate income tax.

Small businesses that decide to forgo incorporation can also benefit from the low, flat 4.35% income tax. Different cities will also add on their own, local tax but, typically, taxes remain low. Michigan also has an online, one-stop business portal, which lists the requirements for starting up, and links to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation,a partnership between private enterprise and the public sector meant to help entrepreneurs get started.
