Compare formation costs, entity types, EIN, timelines, and tax duties for non‑US founders choosing between two U.S. formation services.
Wyoming is the best of the three for most small businesses and non-US owners: $100 to form an LLC or a corporation, $60 minimum a year, no state income tax and owner names kept off the public record. Delaware is the best for startups raising venture capital, at $110 to form an LLC and a $400 annual LLC tax. Nevada has no state income tax but costs the most, $425 to form an LLC and $350 a year, and its annual list names managers publicly.

Learn how a registered agent service in Louisiana helps businesses stay compliant with legal requirements while protecting privacy and simplifying operations.
Louisiana requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent under La. R.S. 12:1308. Eligible agents are Louisiana citizens residing in the state, law partnerships or professional law corporations, and authorised corporations or LLCs that are authorised by their articles to act as agent and have a certificate on file naming at least two individuals at their Louisiana address. Every appointment and change needs a notarised affidavit of acceptance signed by the agent. The address must be a municipal address, not a post office box only, and the registered office counts as the LLC’s domicile for all purposes.
