What we do
Forming an LLC isn't complicated, but the information around it often is: state fees, processing times, registered agent rules, and annual requirements all differ from one state to the next. StartLLC.co brings that into one place with a guide for each of the 50 states, along with cost tools and side-by-side comparisons.
Our goal is simple: give you enough clear information to decide how you want to form your LLC — on your own through your state, or through an online service — and to avoid paying for things you don't need.
What you'll find here
- State-by-state LLC costs and a cost calculator
- A guide to forming an LLC in each state, covering filing fees, timelines, and registered agent requirements
- Comparisons of LLC formation services and registered agent providers
- Explainers such as LLC vs. sole proprietorship and the best state to form an LLC
How we make money
StartLLC.co is free to use. Some of the services we recommend pay us a commission if you sign up through our links. That's how we fund the site, and it doesn't cost you anything extra. We aim to recommend services on their merits, we disclose this relationship on our pages, and we tag paid links as sponsored for search engines.
A note on accuracy
Filing fees, processing times, and requirements are set by each state and can change. We work to keep our guides current, but you should always confirm the details with your state's filing office before you file.
StartLLC.co provides general information, not legal, tax, or accounting advice. For guidance specific to your business, consult a licensed attorney or tax professional.
