Why Mainstay Filing? It files the biennial report for you, which none of the others do, for $199 a year.

The questions, one by one
What will forming an LLC cost me?
Set aside $100 for the state and $199 for a service.
Add the state's three years of fees, from filing onward, and you reach $125. (nebraskalegislature.gov, October 2026)
- Publication: a notice runs for three weeks in a local legal newspaper, then proof is filed for $25 online ($30 in office).
Where does the formation paperwork go?
The LLC comes into being when the Nebraska Secretary of State approves the Certificate of Organization.
Legal basis: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-117. (nebraskalegislature.gov, October 2026)
Must I have a registered agent?
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
A Nebraska resident, which can be a member of the company, or a business authorized to do business in Nebraska.
(nebraskalegislature.gov, October 2026)
What do I owe after the LLC is formed?
Keep up with the biennial report every other year ($25). According to the state, it is due April 1 of each odd-numbered year, which is easy to miss.
(sos.nebraska.gov, October 2026)
Am I allowed to file on my own?
Yes, and the cost is then the state's $125 over three years.
The trade is $397 to $597 over three years in exchange for not filing every form yourself.
How did you order the services?
How much work the price handles counts for 28%, and Mainstay Filing comes out ahead on it.
What three years cost carries 34% and how much work the price handles carries 28%. Three smaller criteria decide close calls.
Being spared the biennial report is worth more to us than a small saving.
