IRA LLC Setup Process

You are here: Home / Blog / IRA LLC Setup Process

July 24, 2018 by Editorial Team Leave a Comment

When you set up your IRA LLC with us, we make the process smooth, compliant and easy for you so you can get on with your investing and doing deals!

Our team of experts will help you swiftly and thoroughly complete your traditional or Roth IRA application so your account can be opened in just a couple business days.

IRA accounts are tied to the individual, so that keeps things simple. IRAs can receive rollovers from any other “defined contribution” type of retirement account such as another IRA, 401(k), 403(b), 457, SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA, Keogh, etc. IRAs can also be self-directed. You designate the beneficiary for your IRA to ensure your loved ones are well cared for.

Our team will help prepare the traditional or Roth IRA applications, and get the transfer paperwork ready for you to submit to the custodian.

While your IRA account opening and rollovers/transfer is in progress, our team will form your new Special Purpose LLC. The member of the LLC will be your [Roth or traditional] IRA and you will be the manager. Our team will obtain a new tax ID number for your LLC and we’ll even help you open a bank account for the LLC. This way, you have complete “checkbook control” of the IRA funds once they are invested into your LLC.

Once the rollover funds are received by the IRA custodian, we’ll help you submit the Investment authorization form so the custodian will send the funds to the LLC you manage.

The final step is for you to have the [traditional or Roth] IRA funds invested from the custodian into the LLC. You’ll get a check or wire into the LLC bank account and you’re ready to start investing with complete checkbook control!

Steps to Success

  1. Open IRA and begin rollovers/transfers
    Our team will prepare the [traditional or Roth] IRA applications and transfer paperwork. All you need to do is confirm the information is correct, sign, and send to the custodian.
  2. Form the LLC
    Let our experts form your LLC! We’ll gather some basic information from you, and then take care of the rest. Our team will form your LLC with the Secretary of State, obtain Registered Agent service for your new LLC and obtain a new tax ID number for the LLC. We’ll also make sure your annual renewal with your Registered Agent and Secretary of  State is setup so keeping your LLC current is a breeze.
  3. Submit investment authorization to IRA custodian
    Your IRA LLC support team is here to ensure your [traditional or Roth IRA] funds are invested into the LLC you manage so you have complete checkbook control. Your IRA LLC support team will prepare the Investment Authorization form and supporting documents for you to sign and send into the IRA custodian.
  4. Receive funds from the IRA into the LLC
    The IRA custodian will send a check or wire to your new LLC bank account so you can invest the funds your way. Need help getting an LLC bank account? Let our support team make things easy and introduce you to our preferred trained banks and bankers who will open your LLC account with you at the helm.
  5. Begin investing 
    Now that your [traditional or Roth] IRA funds have arrived in your LLC bank account, you’re ready to start investing. Real Estate, cryptocurrencies, private notes, lending, private equity – the options are almost endless when you have checkbook control through our IRA LLC. We’re here to support you every step of the way!

The IRA LLC Setup Process

The Checkbook IRA, or IRA LLC has been considered a legitimate self-directed investing structure for investors since 1989. It’s a powerful alternative for those who are ineligible for the Solo 401k. The IRA LLC structure was tested in tax court in 1996 and won, proving its legitimacy to the investing world.

Your Investments can be self-directed and you get “Checkbook Access” by having an LLC.
