Indiana

To form an LLC in Indiana, you must first choose a unique name and appoint a registered agent. The primary legal step is filing Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State. The filing fee is $95 when submitted by mail, though online options through the INBiz portal are also available. This document establishes your business entity and includes essential details like your business address and management structure.

Once formed, Indiana requires LLCs to file a Business Entity Report to stay in good standing. Unlike most states, this report is filed biennially rather than annually. It is due every two years during the anniversary month of your LLC’s formation. The filing fee for this report is $32 online or $50 by mail. Maintaining these filings ensures your business remains active and compliant with state regulations.
