Step 1: Choose a Name for your Minnesota LLC

Your LLC name must be unique in Minnesota and include an identifier like "LLC," "L.L.C.," or "Limited Liability Company." Avoid restricted words (Bank, Insurance, University) without proper approval.

Quick tips:

  • Search the Minnesota Secretary of State business database for availability.
  • Check domain and social handle availability for your name.
  • Optionally reserve the name with the state while you finalize paperwork.

Step 2: Appoint a Minnesota Registered Agent

Minnesota requires every LLC to designate a registered agent — a person or company with a physical address in Minnesota who can accept legal mail and state notices during business hours.

Step 3: File your Articles of Organization

Submit your Articles of Organization to the Minnesota Secretary of State. This document lists your LLC's name, address, registered agent, and members. Once approved, your LLC officially exists.
