Most state filings price themselves in pieces — one fee for the Articles, another for an expedited option, a third for a certificate of good standing, and an annual report on top. The list below is what actually hits your card (or the state's portal) when you form an Arkansas LLC with us.
Year one
Form LLC service fee — $299 flat. Covers Articles of Organization, federal EIN, custom operating agreement, and one year of registered agent service in Arkansas.
Arkansas state filing fee — $45. Paid directly to the Arkansas Secretary of State at time of filing. Non-refundable once submitted.
First-year total — $344. That's every dollar required to form an Arkansas LLC with a stamped certificate, EIN, and a bank-ready operating agreement in hand.
Arkansas note
Annual Franchise Tax Report of $150 due May 1 each year.
What happens after year one
Arkansas annual report: $150 due every year. Miss it and the state imposes a late fee, and eventually administrative dissolution.
Arkansas tax notes: Annual Franchise Tax Report of $150 due May 1 each year. $50 by mail. $25 late penalty plus 10% interest per year.
Registered agent service is $119/year after the included first year. It's optional — you can designate yourself, an employee, or a different commercial agent at any time by filing a change-of-agent form with the Arkansas Secretary of State.
What the $299 is not
The $299 is a flat service fee. It is not:
A legal fee. Form LLC is a document filing service, not a law firm. If you need legal advice on your operating agreement or liability exposure, talk to an Arkansas attorney.
A tax fee. We prepare your EIN application and deliver the IRS confirmation, but we do not prepare tax returns.
A tiered price. There is no "basic" or "premium" — the same $299 gets every customer the same four things. No upsells at checkout.
