Articles of Organization

To form an LLC in Minnesota, you must file Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State. This document requires a unique business name, a registered agent with a physical Minnesota address, and the names of the organizers. The state filing fee for submitting these articles by mail is $135. Once the state processes your application, your business entity is legally established and can begin operations.
Maintaining your LLC requires filing an Annual Renewal with the Secretary of State by December 31 each year. This informational report ensures your business data remains current. For domestic LLCs in good standing, there is no fee to file this renewal online or by mail. Failure to submit the report on time results in administrative termination, though the entity can be reinstated by filing the current renewal and paying a reinstatement fee.
