Ten questions we get most often about forming an LLC in Idaho — with straight answers, not hedged ones.
3–5 business days for standard online processing through the Idaho Secretary of State. 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. Idaho's state filing fee is $100, paid directly to the Idaho Secretary of State. First-year total is $399, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.
No. Idaho allows non-residents to form and own LLCs in the state. You do need an Idaho registered agent — that's included in the $299 for the first year. Our Boise office serves as the agent of record.
Yes. Idaho 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 Idaho 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 registered agent service in Idaho. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.
Idaho requires an annual report, but the state charges no filing fee for it. The report must still be filed on time to keep the LLC in good standing.
Yes, Idaho law requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state to receive service of process and official correspondence. Our Boise office serves as your registered 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 Idaho Secretary of State. 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.
Idaho's annual report carries no filing fee. It is due by the end of the LLC's anniversary month each year. Miss it and the state begins the administrative dissolution process. Idaho also has no franchise tax, making ongoing compliance costs about as low as any state in the country.
