First-year total$424
Partnership fee$150/member (3+)

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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey.
  • New Jersey state filing fee — $125. Paid directly to the New Jersey Division of Revenue at time of filing. Non-refundable once submitted.
  • First-year total — $424. That's every dollar required to form a New Jersey LLC with a stamped certificate, EIN, and a bank-ready operating agreement in hand.
New Jersey note

New Jersey imposes a per-member Partnership Filing Fee of $150 per member, capped at $250,000, for LLCs with more than two members (due with the NJ-1065 return). Single-member and two-member LLCs are exempt from the per-member fee. The state also requires a $75 annual report on the anniversary of formation.

What happens after year one

New Jersey annual report: $75 due every year. Miss it and the state imposes a late fee, and eventually administrative dissolution.

New Jersey tax notes: Annual report $75 due on last day of formation anniversary month. Filed with Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services. NJ has a minimum annual alternative minimum assessment of $150 for LLCs treated as corporations.

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 New Jersey Division of Revenue.

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 New Jersey 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.
