Nevada is known as one of the three incorporation-friendly states, the other two being Delaware and Wyoming. Nevada limited liability companies are formed by filing Articles of Organization with Nevada Secretary of State. The entire filing process takes on average 5-7 business days, however state offers expedited filing of 1 business day for extra fee.

All entities that are required to file an initial or annual list of officers with the Secretary of State are also required to file for the State Business License at the time their list is due as part of the annual list filing.
