This guide will cover the basics of NJ LLC formation. It covers naming your business, getting a Registered Agent, the fees and requirements you’ll need to pay and meet, NJ state tax details and much more. We’ll also go over what you need to file your LLC and how you'll work with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, often simply referred to as the NJ Division of Revenue or DORES.
