hey everybody this is Shamika so I know you guys have been seeing that I have been posting my business credit card so I wanted to be able to show you the first step you're going to need in doing that and that is incorporating your business in your state I live in Florida so we're gonna do Florida the website is some biz dorg and we're gonna go to start a business and it's gonna take you here once you choose which some businesses you want we're gonna choose LLC since that's usually the most common in the state you do get to also choose non-profit and a for-profit which is a corporation but like I said again we're going to just go with LLC since that is usually the most common and what people aren't usually file so there's two sections here on this second page and of course we're going to go to file articles of organization but over here to the well hold on what we're gonna do files of articles organization on the left and over here to the right is to correct you're gonna use your tracking number and I'll show you where you get that from later on so we're gonna go to file articles organization so we can start this new filing and this is where the magic begins so we are going to use today's date this is an imaginary one but I am just going to walk through the steps and show you what it is you need to do the filing fee is one hundred and twenty-five dollars in the state of Florida every state's price is different if you are curious about filing or what your filing fee is you need to go to your google search and put in your secretary put Secretary of State and the state name that you live in and that is how you can get taken to that page all right so there are two extra fees that you can pay if you choose and I'll show you what those are here you're gonna put your business name but make sure you put LLC at the end most people do not and it gets kicked back alright so make sure you put LC at the end additional five dollars if you want a certificate status but you want something to hang up inside of your business it's an additional $30 if you want it to be a certified copy certify it just means that it has an official seal or stamp from your the office up in Tallahassee and they'll send it to you it's not necessary it's just if you want that for your personal edification I would just say paid $125 and someone needs to verify that you are in business you can tell them to go to somebody's org and look you up so what's your principal place of business really fast if you have a office or a business that has an address that is where that address goes majority of you that are starting out you do not you work from home or you have a virtual business like an online boutique or something like that you would just put your home address down here it asks you for your mailing address if it is the same as your principal business dress you're just gonna check that box and it's going to auto populate that information right down there for you we are now moving on to the register agents section I am putting my company name there because I do offer a register agent service I'll explain really quick what a register agent is that is an individual that intercepts the mail important mail like if your company is being sued if you are being served they take it to your register agent and it is your register Aegis responsibility to get that mail to you a lot of people are too busy they don't have time to necessarily check that mail it's not usually the home address so if that's the service that you're interested in my company provides it and you get to this next box and it tells you that they want the name of the registered agent not the company but the name of the individuals so you make sure if you see this yellow box you put the name of the individual now if you don't want to hire a registered agent you can't put your own self down so just so you guys know but I'd be remiss if I did not offer my services to you this section here is asking you for your name and your email address this if they have any correspondence sometimes you will get an email if they have a quick question they may want to ask and they don't want to call that may just email you and I am talking about the individuals that work up in Tallahassee that actually handled the LLC filings okay so it's asking you to double-check your email address here and now it's asking you for the signature of an authorized representative normally this would be the CEOs name unless your organization structure is different and you put someone else in charge but normally that is the name that goes there now they are asking you to list any individual that is an authorized personnel that will make any type of decision so this is where you will put if you are were an LLC and you have partners you would list all over your partners down here so as you see I just put CEO I put the name if it is a company that's making decisions you can put that company name but more than likely it's just going to be an individual name so I'm putting the address again here I just put the home address because we're gonna pretend this individual works from a home-based business something to make sure you pay attention to is that make sure you put in the information in the right box as you can see I was not and I put these excuse-me city and state in the zip code area so I'm gonna correct myself here and get it right so just make sure you're paying attention because it will not let you go to the next screen if there are any mistakes so I do like that because it kind of catches you can be aggravating to when it's helpful all right so if you don't have any other individuals that are authorized representatives of this business then you would just fill that out click the Box go on to the next page these pages where you just check to make sure there are no mistakes make sure you look this over thoroughly because if you need to make any changes you will have to pay an additional I forgot the fees but there is a fee to make any changes so make sure you are paying very close attention on this page all right so we're gonna click and go to the next page give me a second it's coming a little slow you get a pop-up here is just telling you to make sure you looked at your information they're gonna give you that document tracking number remember I said earlier you're gonna need that you will need that because if you happen to call the help desk and have any issues you will give them that document tracking number and here you just make your payment your document tracking number is listed again your payment is $125 and once you submit you're done Congrats and you are now a business owner
