About LLCRequirements.com
LLCRequirements.com is a free resource built to help entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners navigate the process of forming an LLC in any US state.
Our Mission
Starting a business should be straightforward. But with 50 different states, 50 different sets of rules, and thousands of pages of government websites to sift through, figuring out how to form an LLC can feel overwhelming.
We built LLCRequirements.com to cut through the noise. Our goal is to give you clear, accurate, side-by-side comparisons of every state's LLC requirements — filing fees, annual costs, processing times, deadlines, and more — so you can make informed decisions without hiring a lawyer or spending hours on research.
What We Do
- State-by-state guides — Detailed formation guides for all 50 states with step-by-step checklists and downloadable PDFs.
- Fee comparisons — Side-by-side comparison of filing fees, annual report costs, and other expenses across every state.
- Educational content — In-depth articles on choosing the right state, understanding business structures, and staying compliant after formation.
Our Data
All data on this site is sourced from official Secretary of State offices and state government websites. We update our information regularly to reflect the latest fee changes, deadline updates, and regulatory shifts.
That said, state laws and fees change frequently. We always recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's Secretary of State office before filing. See our Terms of Use for more details.
Editorial Independence
LLCRequirements.com is an independent publication. Our guides and comparisons are based on publicly available state data. We are not affiliated with any state government, law firm, or LLC formation service. When we reference third-party services, it is for informational purposes only.
