Form an LLC in Oklahoma

Oklahoma has two popular entities that you can file in order to get benefits for your business.  The more popular one is the LLC, or limited liability company, and you can file this by submitting Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State and paying the required filing fee.  There are two main benefits that you can receive by filing the LLC entity:

1. pass through taxation - by default the LLC will grant the members, owners, pass through taxation.  This means that you will possibly avoid double taxation, or paying tax twice on the same income.  The double taxation occurs when more commonly with corporations.  
2. limited liability protection - the llc and corporation both get the benefit of limited liability protection.  This protection will afford the business owner with the benefit of separating their personal and business assets.  This essentially means that the creditors and customers who who may sue the company, are limited to the assets that the business has.  This is different than a sole proprietorship or general partnership that will have all of the personal and business assets subject to claims of a lawsuit.  

These benefits also come with a few extra things that must be done for having an LLC:

• The LLC will have its own taxes to file at the end of each year.  The members, or owners, will get their own K1 form that must be included with their personal tax return.
• The LLC will have annual fee that must be paid to the state each year.
• The LLC will be required to abide by the "Operating Agreement" for the LLC, this will tell the members how the organization will run and what are the limits for the business and the members.
