Since you mentioned it is a software business, it may be worth contacting [Chris Brown@Venture Legal KC](http://venturelegalkc.com/). I used him in the past to help look through some legal agreements for a new job I was starting at. He was really good to work with and seemed really knowledgeable about the software startup scene.

So glad you're lawyering up! Way too many people get way too much wealth stolen from them simply by not having a lawyer write a letter saying, "Fuck you, pay my client." Remember folks, we don't live in a capitalist country. We live in a kleptocracy. Rule of law doesn't matter as much as the power of selective enforcement of laws. Lawyers convey that meaning in a way that most don't know they need to know.

creating an LLC may seem like a daunting task. I would start here: https://www.sba.gov/starting-business/choose-your-business-structure/limited-liability-company -- you should be able to do this by yourself saving a few hundred bucks SBA has a ton of free resources and if you call there office they may be able to help you. Any general Business and Commercial Attorney's office should be able to help you for a few hundred bucks. Creating an LLC is just filling out paperwork and mailing a check/paying online. Source: Created and sold 1 LLC. Have created a few other Dormant LLC's

what kind of business are you starting and why do you need it to be a llc? just asking because a lot of people want their business to be official before they even make any money. i'd say make some money first, then use that to pay the lawyer. unless you're in an industry opening yourself up for lawsuits or something. there are a ton of small business resources if you're in KCMO. fwiw, last time i had paperwork i really didn't want fucked up, i got a lawyer and it still got fucked up. he was nice enough to give me money back though. AND ACTUALLY my account fucked something up this year too. if you want it done right, do it yourself i guess.

Don't know of a lawyer but I did it all for my llc and it wasn't too difficult. Im on the MO side too. It's all online I dont think I had to do anything offline for the llc other than maybe mail a form or two at most. There is also bizcare downtown that helped make things a lot easier with a city business license and whatnot.

I wouldn't pay a lawyer to do this - you should be able to search for and find guides for how to start a MO business - start with MO secretary of state website, and research regulations for state / county / city regulations that would require you to register (eg: you may need a KCMO business license). Starting a LLC is definitely paperwork you can do without a lawyer unless your business structure is highly complicated.

It also largely depends on how much you're looking to pay for one, do you have a price in mind?
