How to Guide: Register a Domestic Entity

How do I form a Domestic Entity with Georgia Secretary of State?

A domestic entity is one that is being created in Georgia for the first time and may take the form of a corporation, LLC, or partnership. Select the form you want to create below and follow the steps in the guide.

Select a Business Structure

As you start your new business, you will have to choose a business structure. A business structure determines how your business is organized. It affects the type of taxes you pay, your level of liability, and other legal considerations. Secretary of State staff is not authorized to provide legal counsel or advise on how your business should be organized. It is recommended that filers obtain professional legal, tax and/or business advise to assure the filer’s goals and intentions are met, and that requirements of the law are satisfied, both before and after formation of the entity.
