CA · OFFICIAL FILING HANDOFF
Prepare in Mabnee. File with California Secretary of State.
Mabnee organizes the current source-dated LLC filing facts for California. You review the information, then continue to the controlling government destination. Mabnee does not claim submission or acceptance merely because an official site was opened.
REVIEW BEFORE YOU LEAVE MABNEE
The formation facts that control this handoff.
Corpus 2026-08-27.v1 · source-verified 2026-08-27. Government portals, forms, and fees can change, so the official destination remains controlling.
California Secretary of State
The authority and its filing destination control the legal filing. Mabnee does not replace the agency.
Read official source →Review before submission
- A California agent for service of process is required.
- The initial Statement of Information is a separate post-formation filing.
- Reserve the current FTB minimum annual LLC tax after formation; do not combine it with the $70 state filing fee.
CUSTOMER-CONTROLLED HANDOFF
Four steps. No hidden provider in the middle.
This is Mabnee's default formation model: prepare, review, hand off to government, then reconcile the official evidence.
Review the business facts
Confirm the legal name, entity type, registered-agent information, addresses, ownership/management choices, organizer details, and any state-specific answers before leaving Mabnee.
Open the official government destination
Mabnee opens the current official filing route in a new tab. The government site controls authentication, signatures, payment, submission, and acceptance.
Save the government receipt
Keep the official receipt, payment reference, filing reference, and any PDF issued by the state. A payment receipt proves payment—not necessarily formation acceptance.
Reconcile the final entity record
Only an attributable agency record or accepted formation document should move the business to formed/accepted. Then Mabnee can seed EIN, banking, governance, and periodic-compliance work.
Do not enter SSNs, EINs, payment-card data, passwords, identity documents, or other high-risk identifiers into the local filing-note form below. Secure document upload remains disabled until Mabnee's dedicated vault passes production acceptance.
AFTER YOU FILE
Keep a local filing note without overstating the result.
This note stays in this browser. It is convenience bookkeeping only and is not treated as government verification.
