LLC Costs & Fees

Understanding LLC Formation Costs

Forming an LLC involves several types of costs, including state filing fees and optional service fees. Understanding these costs upfront helps you budget properly for your business formation.

State Filing Fees

Every state requires a filing fee to form an LLC. These fees vary significantly by state:

• Lowest: Some states charge as little as $40-$50
• Average: Most states charge between $100-$200
• Highest: Some states charge $500 or more

State filing fees are mandatory and are paid directly to the state. We pass these fees through to you at cost.
