Vermont Company Formation

Forming an LLC in Vermont

The Process

Vermont LLCs are formed in three to five business days.

Name Identifiers and Abbreviations

The name of the Vermont LLC must end with one of the following words or abbreviations:

• LLC
• L.L.C.
• Limited Liability Company

Operating Agreement

An Operating Agreement will help to protect your company’s limited liability status and avoid your company from being run by the default rules created by the state. Although Vermont does not mandate all LLCs to have an Operating Agreement, it is recommended that you have one.

Additional Filings

Depending on the nature of your business, some additional filings could be necessary to complete the proper set-up of your LLC:

• EIN – Tax Identification Number – available as an optional extra for non-US residents.
• Sales tax registration
• Payroll registration and business licensing
