LLC Georgia- Common Problems Causing Filing Rejections

by Christine Snook on March 23, 2009

Almost any Georgia business owner who wants an easy-to-use and maintain vehicle for their business ought to consider the Georgia LLC.

Avoiding a mistake during the formation process can save unnecessary delays and stress to fix the errors with the state. Your Georgia limited liability company is not formed until a properly prepared filing is submitted and the state has accepted and processed the filing to completion.

A representative of the state will review your application for completeness and to make sure that all the necessary information has been included.

It is key that you not start actually operating as a business until this process is properly completed. If it turns out that your George LLC has mistakes or is missing information, all the business you’ve completed prior to approval will not be protected from liability.

A FIRST COMMON ERROR

This one is quite obvious but believe it or not, it causes many filing rejections. Make sure you pay the proper fee applicable to your filing and write the check out to the required agency name set forth on the latest set of instructions.

MISTAKE TWO

Ensure that the name you have chosen is acceptable. The laws of limited liability corporations in Georgia are such that a new name must be different or sufficiently different from all others names being used by other registered Georgian legal entities.

Also, the name must end with an appropriate designation acceptable by the state. These are listed in the statute or a reputable service can ensure this is met when preparing your filing.

A THIRD COMMON ERROR

Another major cause for rejected filings can be deficiency of required information in the filing documents. In Georgia, some requirements include the proper formatting of your documents or use of certain forms provided by the state, disclosing an official principal office address and legally mandated information about the registered agent and registered office for your business.

Selecting a qualified registered agent and registered office is absolutely necessary to ensure your business’ proper status as an LLC Georgia. The possibility of liability and other financially devastating consequences can ensue the loss of a business’ status as a Georgia limited liability company.

IN CONCLUSION

Major mistakes involved during the LLC Georgia formation process if avoided helps in a smooth filing process.

One way of ensuring you avoid problems, stress and aggravation in forming a Georgia LLC is simply to use a reputable document formation company. Such a move can provide you with piece of mind that your filing process is being completed properly.
