A certificate of formation is a document that creates a new limited liability company under the laws of the chosen jurisdiction of the organization. It contains specific information about the business, and the LLC begins its official existence as a business entity once the certificate is filed with and accepted by a state’s business division. Each state has a limited liability company statute that details how a new business owner can create an LLC and register it with the proper authorities. The certificate of formation is the authorizing charter document for a limited liability company, and is required by every state as part of the organization procedure. It is drafted and signed by an initial owner of the business (or an authorized “organizer,” such as an attorney or accountant).
