New Jersey's Online Business Formation

Welcome to New Jersey's online Business Formation Service. You may use this streamlined service to file certificates of formation and authorization of business entities.

When should I use this application?

  • When you want to start a new business in the state of NJ (LLC, PA, DP, Non-Profit, etc)
  • When you need to authorize a legal entity in NJ for your business in another state

You should use the Online Registration form instead if:

  • You have already formed/authorized your business in NJ and need to register for tax purposes
  • You are looking to start a Sole Proprietorship or Partnership

Please use the navigation to the left to complete your business filing. Once you finish each section it will be marked with a check mark.
