The ten we get asked most

How long does it take to form an Oregon LLC?

5–10 business days for standard online processing through the Oregon Corporation Division. 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 Oregon?

Our service is $299 flat. Oregon's state filing fee is $100, paid directly to the Oregon Corporation Division. First-year total is $399, with no upsells and no tiered pricing.

Do I have to live in Oregon to form an Oregon LLC?

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

Can a single person own an Oregon LLC?

Yes. Oregon 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 Oregon 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 Oregon. No hidden costs, no tiered pricing.

What's the annual requirement for an Oregon LLC?

Oregon charges $100 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 Oregon?

Yes, Oregon 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 Salem 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 Oregon Corporation Division. 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.

Are there any Oregon-specific tax or compliance notes?

Annual report $100 due on anniversary date. 45-day grace period after due date before administrative dissolution. Oregon has no sales tax but has a Corporate Activity Tax for businesses with over $1 million in receipts.
