Cochise Business Filing

Frequently Asked Questions

Starting an LLC comes with a lot of questions.

Here are clear answers to some of the most common things people want to know before getting started.

Do I need a lawyer to start an LLC?

No. Many small businesses form LLCs without hiring an attorney.

Cochise Business Filing provides administrative filing assistance, not legal advice. If you need legal guidance, we recommend speaking with a licensed attorney.

What if my business name is taken?

That's why we ask for multiple name choices.

If your first choice is unavailable, we can move to your backup options and help keep the process moving.

How long does it take?

We begin working on new requests within 1 business day.

After submission, the Arizona Corporation Commission processes the filing according to their current timelines.

Can my LLC have multiple owners?

Yes. An Arizona LLC can have one owner or multiple owners.

Our intake process supports up to six owners.

What is a statutory agent?

A statutory agent is the person or business designated to receive official notices and legal documents for the LLC. Arizona LLCs are required to maintain one with an Arizona address.

Can I be my own statutory agent?

In many cases, yes, if you qualify and have an Arizona address. Some business owners choose another person or service instead.

Do you provide registered agent services?

No. At this time, Cochise Business Filing does not provide registered agent services.

Do you offer EIN filing assistance?

Yes. EIN filing assistance is available as an optional add-on for $39.

The IRS issues EINs directly for free. This option is for customers who want administrative help with that step.

LLC + EIN bundle pricing is also available for $109 + state fee.

Do you include an operating agreement?

Yes. A basic operating agreement template is included with our LLC filing service.

It is a standard template intended to help you organize your business records after filing. It is not custom legal drafting, and we do not provide legal advice.

What is included in the Launch Kit?

What exactly do you do?

We help prepare and submit the information needed to file an Arizona LLC.

That includes organizing your intake details, preparing the filing information, and submitting it to the Arizona Corporation Commission.

What don't you do?

We do not provide:

  • - Legal advice
  • - Tax advice
  • - Registered agent services
  • - Ongoing compliance services

If you need legal or tax guidance, consult a licensed professional.

Do you guarantee approval?

No.

Business name availability and state approval are ultimately determined by the Arizona Corporation Commission.

We help make the process straightforward, but we cannot guarantee approval.
