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 Indiana 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 Indiana.
Indiana state filing fee — $95. Paid directly to the Indiana Secretary of State at time of filing. Non-refundable once submitted.
First-year total — $394. That's every dollar required to form an Indiana LLC with a stamped certificate, EIN, and a bank-ready operating agreement in hand.
Indiana note
Biennial Business Entity Report: $32 online, $50 by mail.
What happens after year one
Indiana biennial report: $32 every two years.
Indiana tax notes: Biennial Business Entity Report: $32 online, $50 by mail. Due in anniversary month every 2 years. Filed through INBiz portal.
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 Indiana 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 Indiana 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.
