State fees

Set by each state, not by us. You see your state's fees before you order.

Which state?

Each state sets its own fee to form an LLC or corporation and its own yearly fee. Choose yours to see both. We pass them on at cost.

Questions people ask

Are state fees included in the package price?

No. The state's fee is shown separately and passed on at cost, so you can see exactly what goes to the state and what comes to us.

When do I pay?

After we've confirmed your details together. We send a secure payment link, and nothing is filed until you've paid and approved it.

How fast do you file?

With Core, we file within 3 business days of your payment. Complete includes rush processing: we file within 1 business day. That's our own time to prepare and file. After we file, the state reviews and approves it in its own time, which varies by state, and we keep you updated until it's approved. Where a state offers faster processing for a fee, you can add it in the order, at cost.

What will I pay every year after forming?

Your state's yearly fee, plus any yearly service you choose, such as annual report filing ($79 a filing) or a registered agent ($89 a year; Complete includes the first year). Each state sets its own yearly fee. For an LLC, New Mexico and Missouri charge nothing, Wyoming charges $60 a year and California $800. Every state's fees are on one page.

Do you charge extra for owners outside the US?

No. The packages are the same wherever you live. What changes is the paperwork, such as applying for the EIN by phone, fax or mail, and we handle that at the same price. From outside the US you'll also need a registered agent and an EIN, and Complete includes both.
