The unit, task by task

  1. Task 1

    See if your LLC must register in Nevada

    Vocabulary: a foreign LLC is one formed in a different state. It registers before it does business in Nevada.

  2. Task 2

    Choose the Nevada registered agent

    Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a street address in Nevada. A P.O. box alone is not enough.

    Each of the recommended services serves as the registered agent.
