- Does your LLC need to acquire an Arizona transaction privilege tax license and collect and pay the tax?
- What two items are required to open a bank account in the LLC’s name?
- What is a tradename (hint: it’s not a trademark)?
- Will your LLC need a tradename and how does it register the tradename with the proper state agency?
- What is an Operating Agreement and does Arizona law require it?
- What is the difference between a married couple owning their interests in an Arizona LLC as community property vs. separate property?
- How do you document that one spouse owns his or her interest in the company as separate property?
- What is a spousal disclaimer and does a member of your LLC need one?
- What is the difference between a member managed LLC and a manager managed LLC?

- What is Arizona law with respect to meetings of members and managers?
- What are the recordkeeping requirements of Arizona law?
The answers to these questions and many other important LLC facts are in the Arizona LLC Quick Start Guide. Because it explains more than 75 LLC formation and operational issues, the Guide is the “owner’s manual” and go to reference book for forming and operating an Arizona limited liability company.
The Two Phases of Arizona LLC Life
Every LLC has two phases, formation and operation. Phase 1, forming the Arizona LLC is easy. You fill in the blanks of the Arizona Corporation Commission’s two page form Articles of Organization and give it to the ACC with a $50 check for the filing fee.
Phase 2 is the hard part and what you don’t know can hurt your LLC and its members and managers financially and in other ways. Complying with Arizona limited liability company law and operating the company properly after it is formed is critical. An Arizona LLC that does not comply with Arizona law exposes its members (owners) to the risk that a creditor could convince a court to pierce the company veil and hold the members liable for the company’s debts.
For more on this topic, see Arizona LLC attorney Richard Keyt’s article called “The Two Phases in the Life of an LLC.”
Arizona LLC Quick Start Guide Table of Contents
Look at the Table of Contents of the Arizona LLC Quick Start Guide and you will be shocked at how comprehensive it is. How many of the Guide’s 75+ Phase 2 topics are you familiar with? Hint: If you didn’t answer all of them, you may be placing your LLC and your economic future at risk. The members and managers of an Arizona LLC must know a lot more about Arizona law than just how to complete the two page form Articles of Organization with the Arizona Corporation Commission (Phase 1).
Why spend countless hours researching Arizona LLC law when you can obtain a copy of Arizona LLC attorney Richard Keyt’s 172 page Arizona LLC Quick Start Guide instead. The Guide is exactly what its name implies. It tells the members and managers of Arizona limited liability companies what they need to know to get the company up and running quickly and how to comply with Arizona law.
Ignorance is Not Bliss – Your Arizona LLC Must Comply with Arizona Law
If your Arizona limited liability company fails to comply with Arizona LLC law and the formalities of operating as an LLC in Arizona, there is a risk that a court might “pierce the company veil” and hold the members/owners liable for the debts of the company. You formed your Arizona limited liability company to take advantage of the general rule that the members of an Arizona LLC are not liable for the debts of the company, but do you really want to jeopardize your liability protection because you do not know how to comply with Arizona LLC law and the formalities of operating an LLC in Arizona? If you have an Arizona LLC, you need our Quick Start Guide.
