Best LLC Formation Services in Wyoming

Wyoming skips two taxes that most states charge. There is no personal income tax and no corporate income tax. A handful of states go that far, then take the money back another way. Nevada adds a Commerce Tax above $4 million of Nevada revenue, and Texas adds a franchise tax above $2.65 million. Wyoming charges neither, at any size.

Your name appears on the Articles only where you put it. The Articles of Organization have no line for members or managers. Wyoming asks for an organizer's signature and printed name, the LLC's mailing address, the principal office address, and a contact person with phone and email. A home address on any of those lines goes on your filing, so ask your Wyoming registered agent or formation service before you order whether its address can go there instead. Whether a formation service signs as organizer also depends on its plan.

Wyoming also allows Series LLCs. One parent LLC can hold separate cells, each with its own assets and liability shield. Real estate investors use this to wall off properties. Setting them up costs $10 per series on top of the $100 filing fee. The state's own Series LLC instructions also want the liability limits written into your operating agreement and listed in the articles. Name a series later and you file articles of amendment within 30 days, which is another $60. Then the charging stops. Wyoming bills no yearly tax per series. One annual report covers the whole structure at the usual $60 minimum, however many cells sit under it. Delaware runs the other way and charges $100 a year for every registered series under 6 Del. C. 18-1107(b). Over a few years that difference compounds.

1. Get a Wyoming registered agent first. The agent needs a real street address in the state, not a P.O. box. Most services include year one, then bill a renewal. The comparison above shows what each one charges, and our Wyoming registered agent guide covers the standalone options.
2. Draft an operating agreement. Wyoming does not require one. But your bank will ask for it when you open an account, and it backs up your liability shield in court.
3. Get an EIN from the IRS. It is free and takes about 5 minutes at irs.gov. You need it to open a bank account, hire, or file federal taxes.
4. Get a sales tax license, but only if you sell taxable goods. Wyoming's statewide rate is 4%, and voter-approved local pennies can raise it. The full rate usually runs from 4 to 8% by county, based on where the customer takes possession. You register with the Wyoming Excise Tax Division.
5. File your annual report by the first day of your anniversary month. The fee is $60, more only if your Wyoming assets top $300,000. Miss it and the state dissolves your LLC 60 days later. File at the Wyoming Secretary of State.
6. Check whether you owe a federal BOI report. In March 2025, FinCEN dropped this filing for every LLC formed in the United States. A final rule made that permanent on August 14, 2026. A Wyoming LLC owned by U.S. persons files nothing. Only foreign companies report now. Confirm at FinCEN before you file.

• Online filing costs more than $100. The state adds a card processing fee of 2.4%, minimum $1, to anything paid through its portal. So a new LLC pays $102.40, and the $60 annual report costs $61.44 online. Mail it in and you pay the flat fee, but you wait up to 15 business days.
• The annual report fee can climb, and then the portal shuts. The floor is $60. Above $300,000 in Wyoming assets, it rises to $0.0002 per dollar. Once the calculated fee passes $500, roughly $2.5 million of Wyoming assets, the state stops letting you file online and you mail a paper report instead. Most small LLCs never leave the $60 floor.
• Name reservation costs $60. Holding your name before you file runs $60 for 120 days. You can skip it if you are filing today.
• Paying to rush a Wyoming filing buys nothing from the state. Wyoming clears online formations instantly. The state's own expedited service, $700 next business day and $1,400 same business day, excludes any filing that can be done online. Formation services still sell speed here, some as a paid add on and some folded into a plan upgrade. That fee moves you up the provider's queue, not the state's.
• Losing your registered agent is the expensive one. Miss enough annual reports and getting reinstated costs $100 plus back fees. Lose your registered agent and the state charges $350. Nothing on the schedule costs more.
