How to form a New Jersey LLC (Limited Liability Company)

Organizing a New Jersey LLC

This form works for all business structures in New Jersey. Submit the form by mail, fax, in person or online. The filing fee is $125. New Jersey takes approximately two to three weeks to process your filing. You can walk it in or fax file with an additional $50 expedite fee, and New Jersey will finish in one day.
