Form an LLC in Tennessee

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) combines the tax flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability of a corporation. Our customers form LLCs more often than corporations, typically to protect their personal assets and avoid the "double taxation" of a corporation on shareholder dividends. Each member (owner) of an LLC reports their share of profit and loss in the company on their individual tax return.

5 Reasons to Form a Tennessee LLC:

  • Protection from personal liability for business debts
  • Perpetual existence, so the LLC continues even if an owner dies or leaves the business
  • Pass-through taxation allows owners to report profit and loss on their individual tax returns
  • Owners need not be U.S. citizens or permanent residents
  • LLCs need not hold annual meetings or record meeting minutes (though we recommend it)

Get the Facts About Tennessee Filing Requirements:

  • We will send you the formation document for signature before we submit it to the state.
  • The state does not require a business address located in Tennessee.
  • The state typically completes filings within 2-3 weeks.
  • Companies must record their formation if they have a Tennessee business address. Our packages include this service.
