Business Formation FAQs

Common questions about starting a business in Oklahoma

Should I form an LLC or corporation?+

LLCs offer flexibility and simpler tax treatment for most small businesses. Corporations are better for businesses seeking outside investment or planning to go public. We'll analyze your specific situation to recommend the best structure.

How long does LLC formation take?+

Oklahoma processes filings in 2-3 business days. After state approval, we prepare your operating agreement—typically 1-2 weeks total from start to finish.

Do I really need an operating agreement?+

Absolutely. Operating agreements define ownership, management, and exit procedures. Banks often require them, and they provide crucial protection in disputes.

What's member-managed vs. manager-managed?+

In member-managed LLCs, all owners participate in decisions. Manager-managed LLCs designate specific people for operations. Multi-member LLCs often benefit from manager-management.
