Professional LLC (PLLC) Formation
For licensed professionals — doctors, lawyers, accountants and more.
Many states require licensed professionals to form a PLLC rather than a standard LLC. We prepare the filing, including the licensing-board documentation your state requires.
- Satisfies state requirements for licensed professionals forming a business entity
- Provides liability protection for business debts, while professional liability (malpractice) still applies personally
- Recognized structure for medical, legal, accounting and other licensed practices

How it works.
- 01
Confirm your profession requires a PLLC
Not every state does — some allow licensed professionals to use a standard LLC or a Professional Corporation instead. We check your state and profession first.
- 02
We prepare your filing
Articles of Organization with the professional designation your state requires, often needing your license number.
- 03
We file with your state and, if required, your board
Some states require your licensing board to approve the formation before or after the state filing.
- 04
You get your documents
Filed Articles, Operating Agreement and EIN (if included) arrive in your account.
Code Craft is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. This section provides self-help document filing services at your specific direction. Use of this service does not create an attorney-client relationship, and communications with Code Craft are not protected by attorney-client privilege. State and federal government filing fees are separate from our service fees and are not included in the prices shown. If your matter requires legal advice, please consult a licensed attorney in your state.
Questions about professional llc (pllc) formation.
No. Code Craft is a self-help document filing service, not a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. If your situation needs judgment calls — multiple owners with unequal stakes, industry-specific licensing, complex tax elections — talk to a licensed attorney or accountant before you file.
