Ten questions we get most often about forming an LLC in Arizona — with straight answers, not hedged ones.
5–10 business days for standard online processing through the Arizona Corporation Commission. Once the LLC is approved, we obtain the EIN the same day and deliver your bank-ready packet within a day or two after that.
Our service is $299 flat. Arizona's state filing fee is $50, paid directly to the Arizona Corporation Commission. First-year total is $349, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.
No. Arizona allows non-residents to form and own LLCs in the state. You do need an Arizona statutory agent — that's included in the $299 for the first year. Our Phoenix office serves as the agent of record.
Yes. Arizona allows single-member LLCs, which the IRS treats as disregarded entities by default — meaning the LLC's income flows through to the owner's personal tax return.
Four things: your Arizona Articles of Organization filed by a formation specialist, federal EIN obtained from the IRS, a custom operating agreement drafted to your actual ownership structure, and one year of statutory agent service in Arizona. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.
Arizona does not require an annual report for LLCs. Once formed, there is no recurring filing with the Arizona Corporation Commission to keep the LLC alive. You still have federal tax obligations, and any state income or franchise tax obligations that may apply.
Yes, Arizona law requires every LLC to maintain a statutory agent with a physical address in the state to receive service of process and official correspondence. Our Phoenix office serves as your statutory agent for the first year as part of the $299.
Yes. After the first year you can renew our service at $119/year, or designate yourself, an employee, or another agent by filing a change-of-agent form with the Arizona Corporation Commission. The state typically charges a small fee for the change.
Yes. Our operating agreements are drafted to your actual ownership structure — member names, percentages, voting rights, profit allocations — not a fill-in-the-blank template. Every major U.S. bank accepts them for business account opening.
