Every state's LLC costs, set down with their sources.

About

About LLC Factbook

LLC Factbook gathers the public costs of owning an LLC in one reference: the fees each state charges, the office or statute behind every number, and the filing services we would hire in each state.

Compiled by the LLC Factbook editors

What the book contains

Every state gets three chapters: what an LLC costs there, what the state demands of a registered agent, and what it takes for an outside LLC to register. Fifty-state tables compare the states side by side, nationwide rankings cover owners who work in several states, and in each chapter the short answer comes before the figures that support it.

Who writes it

The editors at LLC Factbook write and update every chapter. They are not attorneys, and no line in this book should be read as legal or tax guidance; ask a licensed professional about your own situation.

How the book is paid for

LLC Factbook is reader-supported. We may earn money when you buy through links on this page, and the companies we rank are our partners. Prices come from each company's own pages and official state sources.

Method

Our methodology page explains where each number is taken from, how states are ordered from the smallest bill to the largest, and which five criteria decide the order of the services we recommend.
