What the fee table covers

The amount shown is the standard domestic LLC formation filing basis captured from an official source. It is not a quote for every entity type or every service. Special structures, paper or online differences, mandatory initial lists, business licenses, publication, expedited service, certified copies, payment processors, tax accounts, and local permits can change the total.

Source standard

Each state page maps its authority, formation document, fee basis, filing channel, and major conditions to a current official state source.

Frequently asked questions

Business-registration directory answers

Who handles business registration in the United States?

Business formation is primarily state-based. Most states use the Secretary of State, but some use a corporation commission, department of commerce, state corporation commission, or another designated agency.

Are LLC filing fees the same in every state?

No. Fees, mandatory companion filings, processing channels, annual reports, publication rules, and taxes differ by jurisdiction.

Does the listed fee include every startup cost?

No. The directory states the standard domestic LLC formation filing basis and calls out major mandatory companion charges. Licenses, taxes, local permits, optional services, and professional assistance are separate.

Can SecretaryOfStateUSA.com register a company?

No. This private directory links users to official state filing sources and does not accept formation documents or payments.

Does an approved LLC filing create tax accounts and licenses automatically?

Not necessarily. State entity formation, federal tax registration, state tax accounts, employer registrations, professional licenses, and local permits are separate workflows unless a state portal explicitly combines them.
