The ten we get asked most

How long does it take to form a Nevada LLC?

3–5 business days for standard online processing through the Nevada 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.

What does it cost to form an LLC in Nevada?

Our service is $299 flat. Nevada's state filing fee is $75, paid directly to the Nevada Secretary of State. First-year total is $374, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.

Do I have to live in Nevada to form a Nevada LLC?

No. Nevada allows non-residents to form and own LLCs in the state. You do need a Nevada registered agent — that's included in the $299 for the first year. Our Carson City office serves as the agent of record.

Can a single person own a Nevada LLC?

Yes. Nevada 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.

What's included in your $299 flat fee?

Four things: your Nevada 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 Nevada. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.

What's the annual requirement for a Nevada LLC?

Nevada charges $350 annually for the report. Miss the deadline and the state imposes a late fee, and eventually administrative dissolution if the lapse continues.

Do I need a registered agent in Nevada?

Yes, Nevada 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 Carson City office serves as your registered agent for the first year as part of the $299.

Can I change the registered agent later?

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 Nevada Secretary of State. The state typically charges a small fee for the change.

Will I get an operating agreement I can actually use at a bank?

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.

Is there anything unusual about Nevada I should know?

Nevada's combined first-year cost is among the highest in the country: $75 for Articles of Organization, $150 for the Initial List of Managers, and $200 for a State Business License — totaling $425 before your service fees. Annual renewal is another $350 ($150 list + $200 license). Nevada does not share data with the IRS and has no state income tax, which drives its appeal.
