In most cases, your entity name registration protects your business and prevents anyone else in the state from operating under the same entity name.
An article of organization is required by states to create an LLC and contain information regarding the business. It lists the business name, type of business, the members, and purpose of the business. It can also be used in creating the company's bylaws.
The Statement of Information LLC (SOI) is known as Form LLC-12 in California. The SOI acts as an annual report form that must be submitted to the California Secretary of State every two years. Note that other states refer to this as a Biennial Report or Annual Report.
