Missouri LLC
filing costs

The full breakdown

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 a Missouri 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 Missouri.
• Missouri state filing fee — $50. Paid directly to the Missouri Secretary of State at time of filing. Non-refundable once submitted.
• First-year total — $349. That's every dollar required to form a Missouri LLC with a stamped certificate, EIN, and a bank-ready operating agreement in hand.

What happens after year one

No Missouri annual report or state renewal fee. Once formed, there is no recurring Secretary of State filing. You still have federal and state tax obligations as applicable.

Missouri tax notes: No annual report requirement. $50 online, $105 by mail. One of four states with no ongoing annual LLC fees (with AZ, NM, OH). No franchise tax for LLCs.

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 Missouri 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 a Missouri 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.
