Ten questions we get most often about forming an LLC in Missouri — with straight answers, not hedged ones.
3–5 business days for standard online processing through the Missouri 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. Missouri's state filing fee is $50, paid directly to the Missouri Secretary of State. First-year total is $349, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.
No. Missouri allows non-residents to form and own LLCs in the state. You do need a Missouri registered agent — that's included in the $299 for the first year. Our Jefferson City office serves as the agent of record.
Yes. Missouri 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 Missouri 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 Missouri. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.
Missouri does not require an annual report for LLCs. Once formed, there is no recurring filing with the Missouri Secretary of State to keep the LLC alive. You still have federal tax obligations, and any state income or franchise tax obligations that may apply.
Yes, Missouri 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 Jefferson City 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 Missouri 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.
Missouri is one of only a handful of states with no annual report and no annual fee for LLCs. Once you form the LLC, there is nothing to file with the Secretary of State year after year — only federal and state tax obligations. This makes Missouri an unusually low-maintenance home-state option.
