• This name must also include one of the following phrases "limited company" or "limited liability company" or any abbreviation thereof such as "LC," "LLC, " "L.C.," or "L.L.C."
• The Articles of Organization will address

  • The purpose of the organization may be stated to be, or to include, the transaction of any or all lawful business
  • The street address of the firm's registered office and the name of the registered agent at that location.
