How Much Will it Cost to Register My Minnesota LLC?
If you decide to hire Trepanier MacGillis Battina P.A. law firm, we can typically organize your LLC for a FLAT FEE (including applicable Minnesota Secretary of State filing fees).
We will quote the FLAT FEE during the initial attorney consultation (or shortly thereafter) after taking into consideration the complexity of your situation, the number of owners, and your desired turnaround time for registering your Minnesota LLC.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
How Quickly Can I Register My Minnesota LLC?
The process of registering your Minnesota LLC following the initial consultation is relatively fast. Typically, however, additional decisions need to be made following the initial consultation. Drafts need to be circulated, and the attorney will need to consult with you throughout the process. Thus, it could take several days before all of the paperwork is finalized . . . much depends on how quickly you can make decisions and provide requested information.
If time is of the essence, often we can register your Minnesota LLC on the SAME DAY or WITHIN 24 BUSINESS HOURS after you submit the completed Minnesota LLC Checklist.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
What Services Are Included in the Minnesota LLC Flat Fee?
The two most common types of entities for a small business in the State of Minnesota are Minnesota Limited Liability Company (LLC) and Minnesota S-Corporation. For the flat fee, our law firm will:
- Consult with you and decide what type of entity to create (e.g., Minnesota LLC or Minnesota S-Corp.);
- Prepare Articles of Organization for the Minnesota LLC;
- File the Articles with the Minnesota Secretary of State;
- Prepare Minutes of Action of the Organizer, including appointment of the first board of governors (or managers);
- Prepare Operating Agreement for the new Minnesota LLC;
- Prepare Member Control Agreement for the members (owners) of the new Minnesota LLC;
- Prepare First Set of Minutes and designate governors and managers of the new Minnesota LLC;
- Prepare Contribution Agreement(s) for all owners who will be purchasing LLC membership units;
- Prepare a Unit Membership Ledger for all LLC membership units issued;
- Prepare Unit Membership Interest Certificates;
- Obtain Federal Tax ID Number for the new Minnesota LLC;
- Obtain Minnesota State Tax ID Number for the new Minnesota LLC;
- Assemble Company Minute Book for the new Minnesota LLC; and
- Send a Letter to the New LLC explaining important concepts of corporate law.
Additional documents, such as a Minnesota Buy-Sell Agreement, Minnesota Employment Agreement, or Minnesota Non-Compete Agreement can be prepared for an additional fee.

Why Not Incorporate Cheaper Through an Online Incorporation Service?
Clients often ask, “Why shouldn’t I incorporate in Minnesota with an online service that is less expensive?”
The simple answer is . . . a computer program cannot practice law. If you want an attorney who is licensed to practice law in the State of Minnesota to give you skillful legal advice, pick the legal entity that is right for you, and prepare your legal documents, then we are here to help. We charge fair prices for the work we do and stand behind the quality of our work.
If your primary goal is speed and cost, however, then an online service may be right for you. Not all online incorporation services are bad; if money is tight, it might make sense. From experience, however, we strongly discourage use of online LLC registration services if your Minnesota LLC will have more than one owner.
