maintain the LLC and to create one okay so we're going to jump on a computer I'm going to show you how it's done all right guys we're on the computer this is how you create an LLC in the state of Georgia I'm not sure about any other states but I know for a fact the process of creating an LLC in the state of Georgia now in the state of Georgia what you have to do is go to SOS dot Gao and go to corporations and you click on the corporations tab and what you want to do is you want to go ahead and do a business search okay to make sure that your business your business name isn't taken okay just do a business search uh let's say super car or wash services okay so when it comes back with this no data file that means that that business name is a belt no one has that business name which is a good thing no one has that business name but if somebody did have that business name it would show up something like this let's say carwash services okay let's do another search it's a car watch all right so you use all the business names that's got car wash in the title and basically you want to find a business or create a business then find a business name that is unique in nature that doesn't have the same business title that you have so you don't want to have a business name 15th Street car wash LLC you don't want to have that because it's already taken you want your business name needs to be unique in nature so we already know that super car wash services is already available so we can go ahead and create that business all right see now alright now before you can create a business
