Questions & Answers

How to get your second LLC and can you add it to a existing LLC

Derrick Scales | Apr 19, 2022
Ohio Secretary of State | Apr 19, 2022

Thanks for your question! You can go to OhioBusinessCentral.gov to form a new LLC. There are no limits to the number of entities that can be filed by an individual. Ohio law permits an existing LLC to file an amendment to have a series LLC which may be an option if you want the second LLC to be a series of the first LLC. Alternatively, the first LLC could be the entity authorizing the formation of the second LLC. If you need assistance, please call 877-767-3453.

If I were you for taxation purposes any business that I create I would keep each one of them separate with their own EIN numbers through the IRS. It's also way cheaper on Business Insurance when each business is its own entity.
