The cost to form an LLC depends on the state where you register your business. On average, state filing fees across the 50 U.S. states range from $50 to $500.
In addition to the initial filing fee, some states also require:
- Annual or biennial renewal fees
- Franchise or reporting fees
- Ongoing compliance costs
These costs vary significantly from state to state, so it’s important to review both the initial LLC filing fee and the annual maintenance costs before choosing where to form your LLC.
You can compare LLC filing fees and annual fees in all 50 states to determine the most cost-effective option for your business.
