How to start an LLC in Arizona

  1. Pick a name and check it is available with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
  2. Choose a statutory agent: an Arizona resident, or a company allowed to do business in Arizona, with a place of business or residence in the state. The agent must accept the appointment.
  3. File Articles of Organization and pay $50 ($85 expedited).
  4. Check whether you need to publish. If your statutory agent's address is outside Maricopa and Pima counties, publish the notice in a newspaper 3 times in a row within 60 days.
  5. Get an EIN from the IRS. It is free.
