When filing the South Carolina LLC Articles of Organization, provide the registered agent's name, mention the type of residency, and specify whether it's a term company.

Online Filing for South Carolina LLC

Before you file your limited liability company (LLC) with the South Carolina secretary of state's office, you should perform a business entity search. If you choose not to register for your LLC immediately, a name reservation lasts for 120 days.

To file your South Carolina LLC online, follow these steps:

  • Log into your online account and select the type of entity you want to form.
  • Choose the type of residency you plan to form.
  • Enter the LLC's name.
  • Provide the registered agent's name and address.
  • Specify the name, business title, and address of anyone who represents the entity, including anyone who signs and delivers the formation documents to the secretary of state's office for filing.
  • State whether your LLC is a term company. A term company has members who remain as such until a specific term expires.
  • Declare whether your LLC is manager-managed. LLCs that are manager-managed operate in similar fashion to the corporate model, as the organization has managers who oversee everyday business activities.
  • Give the name, address, and business title of each manager.
  • Select the tab that states whether one or more of your members are liable for the LLC's debts and obligations. If so, specify which members and the debts, obligations, and liabilities for which they are liable.
  • Mention whether there is a delayed effective date; otherwise, the LLC becomes effective once you file with the secretary of state's office.
  • Upload a document containing all necessary signatures.
  • Pay the filing fee.
