Gerald Lewis7 said:- You have to list the director right at the start. Without that, you aren't getting anywhere
- All the details on the founders and board members are public record on the Secretary of State's website
- In an LLC, there isn't really a distinction between founders and shareholders. If you had actual shareholders, you'd be looking at a corporation instead
- Here’s how changing a director works: if you have a standalone document from when you started specifically for the director role, you just update that. It’ll cost you a few hundred bucks plus some filing fees at the courthouse. But if everything is lumped together in one massive operating agreement—which is common with older LLCs—you have to amend the whole thing. That gets expensive. It’s almost like starting from scratch, plus those court fees all over again

Anyway, hope that helps 🙂

superiska 🙂 thanks a ton for the help! 🙂

Is it actually possible for someone to own a stake in an LLC but stay anonymous? Like, not show up at all in the public Secretary of State filings?

I’ve got a few questions here and would really appreciate some help from anyone who knows the ropes 🙂

• Does a company actually need to appoint a CEO right when they're being incorporated?
• Is the identity of the company's founders kept private from the public record?
• What’s the actual distinction between a founder and a shareholder in an LLC?
• How does the process work if you need to swap out a director, and what kind of fees should I expect to pay?
