Launch your business on a strong legal foundation with more than just a state filing. Moore Law PC helps entrepreneurs form single-member LLCs the right way, with the documents, structure, and guidance needed to get started with confidence.
Start Your LLC the Right Way
Starting a business is exciting. It is also easy to get wrong at the beginning.
Many new business owners believe that filing an LLC with the state is enough. It is not. A proper startup package should do more than create the company on paper. It should help the owner begin with the right structure, the right documents, and a clear path forward.
At Moore Law PC, we help entrepreneurs form single-member LLCs the right way. Our Single-Member LLC Startup Package is built for business owners who want more than a filing receipt. It is designed to give you the legal foundation you need to operate with confidence from day one.
Whether you are starting a consulting business, online company, local service business, real estate venture, or side business that is becoming something bigger, this package helps you begin in a cleaner and more organized way.
What Is a Single-Member LLC?
A single-member LLC is a limited liability company with one owner. It is one of the most common business structures for small business owners because it can provide liability protection, operational flexibility, and a relatively simple ownership structure.
But forming the LLC is only the first step.
A business owner should also think about internal documents, tax setup, banking authority, ownership records, and the practical rules that help keep the company separate from the individual owner. Without that structure, many business owners end up with an LLC in name only.
What Is Included in Our Single-Member LLC Startup Package?
Articles of Organization Filing
We prepare and file the documents needed to officially form your LLC.
Business Name Review
We review your proposed business name for availability and flag obvious concerns before filing.
EIN Registration
We obtain your Employer Identification Number, which is often needed to open a business bank account, handle taxes, and operate properly.
Single-Member Operating Agreement
Even with one owner, an operating agreement matters. It helps establish the internal rules of the company, confirms ownership, and supports the distinction between you and the business.
Initial Company Resolutions
We prepare startup resolutions that help organize the company from the beginning, including adopting the operating agreement and authorizing key actions.
Banking Authorization Documents
We prepare the documents commonly requested to help you open a business bank account and begin operating in the company’s name.
Ownership Documentation
We provide clear internal documentation showing the ownership structure of the company.
Digital Company Binder
You receive an organized digital file containing your key formation documents for easy access going forward.
Practical Startup Guidance
We provide guidance on next steps, including basic compliance, business separation, and common mistakes to avoid.
Ready to get started? We help business owners form LLCs with more care than a basic filing service can provide.

Includes formation filing, EIN registration, single-member operating agreement, startup resolutions, ownership documentation, banking authorization documents, digital company binder, and startup guidance.
Why a Proper LLC Startup Package Matters
A lot of LLC services focus on filing and little else. That may create the business, but it does not necessarily set the owner up for success.
A proper startup package helps you create the company correctly from the start, maintain clearer separation between personal and business affairs, open a business bank account with the right documents, reduce confusion about ownership and authority, begin with better internal organization, and avoid common mistakes that create problems later.
For many owners, the early decisions matter more than they realize. It is easier to build the right foundation now than to fix weak paperwork after the business has already started operating.
Who This Package Is For
Our Single-Member LLC Startup Package is a strong fit for first-time business owners, consultants, solo professionals, online businesses, freelancers ready to formalize operations, service providers, real estate investors, local business owners, and entrepreneurs launching a side business or new venture.
If you are the only owner and want your LLC formed with more care than a basic online filing service provides, this package is built for you.
Common Mistakes New LLC Owners Make
Mixing Personal and Business Funds
One of the most common problems is failing to keep business money separate from personal money. That can create accounting problems and weaken the practical separation between the owner and the company.
Operating Without an Operating Agreement
Some owners assume an operating agreement is unnecessary because they are the only member. That is a mistake. The operating agreement helps define the business as a separate entity and creates a cleaner internal record.
Using the Wrong Name on Contracts
A contract should usually be signed in the company’s name, not just the individual’s personal name. If that line is blurred, it can create confusion about who is actually obligated.
Failing to Keep Basic Records
Even a simple business should keep formation records, ownership records, and important internal documents in one place.
Ignoring Future Legal Needs
Many startups will eventually need contracts, trademark protection, independent contractor agreements, or employment documents. It helps to think ahead early.
Suggested Add-On Services
Some business owners need more than the core startup package. We offer several add-ons that can help protect the business as it grows.
Trademark Search and Filing
If your business name, logo, slogan, or brand matters, trademark protection may be worth considering early.
Custom Client Agreement
A good service contract can help prevent confusion, define expectations, and reduce disputes.
Independent Contractor Agreement
If you plan to use freelancers or outside help, a proper contractor agreement is important.
Employment Agreement Package
Hiring employees creates a different set of legal obligations and should be handled with the right paperwork.
NDA / Confidentiality Agreement
If you are sharing sensitive business information, confidentiality should not be left to chance.
Website Terms and Privacy Policies
If your business operates online, collects information, or sells through a website, legal website documents may be needed.
S-Corporation Election Guidance
Some single-member LLC owners may eventually consider S-corporation tax treatment depending on profits and tax planning.
Annual Compliance Support
Formation is only the beginning. Ongoing support can help keep the business organized and in good standing.
Business License and Registration Review
Some businesses need licenses, permits, or tax registrations beyond basic LLC formation.
We can help you take care of everything you will need!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Even if you are the only owner, an operating agreement is still important. It helps show that the business is a separate legal entity and creates internal rules and ownership records.
Is filing the LLC enough to fully protect me?
No. Filing the LLC is only one part of the process. Owners should also use the right internal documents, keep finances separate, and operate the business properly.
Can you get my EIN for me?
Yes. Our startup package includes EIN registration as part of the formation process.
Do I need a business bank account?
In most cases, yes. Keeping business finances separate from personal finances is one of the most important early steps for a business owner.
