Starting LLC for the first time in WA state

Ashutosh Koshe
Posted

I am looking for an advice on the best way to form an LLC in WA state. Along with my partner, I will be starting LLC for the first time in WA state. What's the best way to do this? I looked at a few online websites, which allow to do it in a self service way. Is it the best way or hiring attorney is the right way for the first timers? How much do they charge?

@Ashutosh Koshe

I hired an attorney in Bellevue to form an LLC for me. He charged $800. He also acts as our registered agent for $100/yr so he gets to receive all our junk mail that gets spammed to business owners.

It sounds like a lot of money but he sat with my wife and I for an hour answering all of our questions, setting expectations, and most importantly, showing us exactly how to sign documents and properly use the LLC without piercing our corporate protection. After doing one with an attorney, many people do the subsequent ones on their own.

It was well worth it for us.
