Forming a Connecticut LLC takes six steps: name search, Articles of Organization ($120 state fee), registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and bank account. End-to-end timeline is 5-10 business days with Anonymousllc.co. Connecticut lists either members or managers on the public record, so founders who need ownership privacy form a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC and foreign-qualify into Connecticut. A native Connecticut LLC is $417 all-in ($297 service fee plus the $120 state fee).
A Connecticut LLC is fully operational in 5-10 business days end-to-end. The state accepts the Articles of Organization within 1-3 business days, the EIN follows in 1-7 days, and bank approval lands 8-10 days after the EIN. The path runs in parallel wherever it can. Day 0 is a 5-minute WhatsApp intake. Anonymousllc.co files the Articles the same day, then starts the EIN application the moment the state stamp arrives. US-resident founders receive the EIN in about one day through the IRS online portal; non-resident founders receive it in 5-7 days by fax filing. Bank applications go out to four or five partner banks at once, so approval does not wait on a single institution. A funded US business account with routing and account numbers lands by day 10-12 of the overall timeline, which closes out the formation.
Search the Connecticut Secretary of State business name database and confirm the name is distinguishable from every existing entity. The name must contain "Limited Liability Company", "LLC", or "L.L.C." Anonymousllc.co runs the name check and prepares two or three backup names before filing, so a rejected first choice never delays the filing. Connecticut offers a separate name reservation for founders who want to hold a name before filing, but standard formation locks the name the moment the Articles are accepted. A distinguishable name clears the state's automated check on the first pass in most filings.
The Articles of Organization list the LLC name, the registered agent and Connecticut registered office address, the principal office address, and the member or manager information Connecticut requires on the public filing. Anonymousllc.co files them online for the $120 state fee. Connecticut discloses either members or managers on the public record, which is the difference between a native Connecticut LLC and an anonymous-state LLC. Filings are accepted within 1-3 business days. Founders who want ownership kept off the record form a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC and foreign-qualify into Connecticut. Anonymousllc.co prepares and submits the Articles either way.
Every Connecticut LLC must list a registered agent with a physical Connecticut street address to receive legal service and state mail. The agent's address appears on the public record instead of the owner's home address. Anonymousllc.co provides Connecticut registered agent service at $100/year, included for year one in the formation package. The agent forwards state notices and any legal service the same day it arrives. Using a commercial agent keeps the founder's home or business address off the Secretary of State database. A PO Box does not satisfy the requirement.
Yes. Connecticut does not file the operating agreement with the state, but every US bank requires it to open an account and courts examine it in liability disputes. It is the document that proves who owns and controls the LLC. Anonymousllc.co includes a Connecticut-specific operating agreement tailored to Connecticut statute with every formation package. It sets out ownership percentages, management structure (member-managed or manager-managed), capital contributions, profit distribution, and transfer rules. A single-member LLC still needs one: without it, the liability shield is weaker and banks decline the account. A fully custom draft is a $199 add-on.
The EIN is the LLC's federal tax ID from the IRS, and it is required before any bank account or tax filing. A non-resident without an SSN gets it by fax filing IRS Form SS-4, where the responsible party writes "Foreign" instead of a tax ID number. US-resident founders complete the EIN online in minutes. Non-resident founders receive it in 5-7 days through Anonymousllc.co acting as third-party designee on the SS-4. No SSN, ITIN, or visit to the US is needed. The EIN confirmation letter (CP-575, or a 147C on reissue) is the document banks ask for at account opening.
Anonymousllc.co submits applications to four or five US partner banks (Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and others) in parallel, using the stamped Articles, EIN letter, and operating agreement. Approval averages 8-10 days after the EIN. Applying to multiple banks at once raises the overall approval rate to about 90%, because a decline at one bank does not end the process. These are US business accounts with routing and account numbers, wire and ACH access, and debit cards. Non-residents open them remotely; no US visit is required. A funded account lands by day 10-12 of the overall timeline.
A Connecticut LLC costs $417 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $120 Connecticut state filing fee. That single price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. There are no hidden upsells behind that number. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN $99, ITIN $299, and BOI $150 per report. Year two onward, the recurring cost is the $100/year registered agent plus Connecticut's $80 annual report, so ongoing maintenance is $180/year. Founders whose priority is ownership privacy instead choose the Anonymous LLC at $397 all-in through the Wyoming flagship, then foreign-qualify into Connecticut when they have local operations.
No. Connecticut requires either members or managers on public state records, so a native Connecticut LLC does not keep ownership private. The private alternative is a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC foreign-qualified into Connecticut. The four anonymous states are Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada, where owners never appear on the public formation document. A Wyoming anonymous LLC is $397 all-in and lists only the registered agent. It foreign-qualifies into Connecticut when the business has local operations, so the founder keeps privacy and Connecticut market access. See /wyoming-anonymous-llc/ and /anonymous-llc/.
Yes. Non-US residents form Connecticut LLCs without an SSN, ITIN, or visa, and never need to visit the United States. Connecticut places no citizenship or residency condition on LLC ownership. Anonymousllc.co files the Articles, obtains the EIN by fax without an SSN, provides the Connecticut registered agent and address, and submits US bank applications remotely. Banking is harder for non-residents, so the 4-5 bank strategy raises the approval odds. The founder handles the entire process from abroad over WhatsApp. An ITIN, at $299, supports personal US tax filing when needed.
A Connecticut LLC files an $80 annual report with the Secretary of State each year and maintains a registered agent at $100/year. The report updates the registered agent, principal office, and member or manager information. Missing the annual report moves the LLC out of good standing and, after continued non-filing, leads to administrative dissolution, which can retroactively void the liability shield. Anonymousllc.co tracks the deadline and files the report as part of registered agent service. A dissolved LLC is restored through reinstatement at $250 plus state fees.
