is a hybrid between a Corporation and a Partnership. An LLC protects your assets in the event of
a lawsuit. In order to form your LLC, you must file LLC
Formation Documents and pay the State filing fee. Once your documents are approved, your LLC
is now in existence and authorized to do business in the State. Before completing your LLC Formation Documents,
you need to have 2 things completed. First, make sure you've watched the Lesson
on researching your LLC's name. Your desired LLC name must be available for
use before you proceed. Second, make sure you've watched the Lesson
on Registered Agent and that you've made your selection. Now, let's discuss your LLC Formation Documents. The name of the LLC Formation Document for
the State of Georgia is called the Articles of Organization and the Transmittal Form. These documents are not complicated and they

to the State, you must send 1 original Articles of Organization, 1 copy of the Articles of
Organization, and 1 original Transmittal Form. Once you mail the filing fee along with your
