More Than an LLC Filing Service
We Do Not Simply File Your LLC. We Help You Establish the Legal Foundation for Your Business.
A state filing creates the company. It does not answer the important questions about ownership, management authority, internal records, or what happens when your business changes.
- Who owns the company, and in what percentages?
- Who can make decisions and sign agreements?
- How will profits and distributions be handled?
- What documents should exist before business begins?
- What should you address now to avoid problems later?

Why the Foundation Matters
Small Problems at Formation Can Become Bigger Problems Later.
Your LLC does not need to be overly complicated. But ownership, authority, and records should be clear from the beginning.
1. Unclear Ownership
Misunderstandings often begin when ownership percentages, contributions, and expectations are never documented.
2. No Authority Rules
Disputes can arise when no one knows who can make decisions, sign contracts, or bind the company.
3. Incomplete Records
Organized records help reinforce that the business is operating as a separate legal entity.
How the LLC Formation Process Works

Planning Beyond Formation
What Often Comes Next After Your LLC Is Formed?
Formation is the beginning. The right next step depends on your business model, brand, contracts, and plans for growth.
Attorney-Led LLC Formation
Work With a Lawyer Who Understands the Business Decision Behind the Filing.
Your LLC package includes direct attorney review of your business structure, ownership goals, and operating agreement. The goal is not simply state approval. The goal is to help you begin with a clearer legal foundation.

Tennessee LLC Formation Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer to form an LLC in Tennessee?
No. You can file an LLC yourself. But filing paperwork alone does not resolve ownership, management authority, operating-agreement terms, internal records, or other decisions that can matter later. An attorney-led package helps you address those issues at the beginning.
What is included in a Tennessee LLC startup package?
Both packages include preparation and filing of Tennessee Articles of Organization, attorney review of the business structure, EIN assistance, organizational documents, and an organized digital company binder. The single-member and multi-member packages include different operating-agreement and ownership-planning components based on the number of owners.
What is the difference between a single-member and multi-member LLC?
A single-member LLC has one owner. A multi-member LLC has two or more owners. Multi-member companies need a more detailed framework for ownership percentages, management authority, voting, distributions, and future decision-making.
Do I need an operating agreement for a single-member LLC?
Even with one owner, an operating agreement is useful. It documents the ownership and internal rules of the company and helps support the separation between the owner and the business.
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Tennessee?
Moore Law PC’s Single-Member LLC Startup Package is $1,495 plus Tennessee filing fees. The Multi-Member LLC Startup Package is $2,495 plus Tennessee filing fees. Tennessee’s current LLC filing fee is $350. Government fees may change.
What if my business has four or more owners or investors?
Businesses with four or more owners, outside investors, unusual capital contributions, or complicated ownership arrangements usually need a customized structure and fee quote. Call Moore Law PC at (615) 747-7467 or use the website chat to discuss your business.
Does forming an LLC protect my business name as a trademark?
No. LLC formation and trademark protection are different. Tennessee approval of a business name does not determine whether the name is available for trademark use or federal registration. A trademark search and filing strategy should be considered when your business name is an important brand asset.
Know the attorney fee before work begins.
Direct legal review, not a filing-service template.
Documents tailored to your actual ownership structure.
