What owners want to know

How much money should I set aside?

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 $220. see wyobiz.wyo.gov, October 2026

What creates the LLC?

You submit one document, the Limited Liability Company Articles of Organization, to the Wyoming Secretary of State.

The governing law: W.S. § 17-29-201. How long the state says it takes: Online active immediately; mail up to 15 business days. see wyobiz.wyo.gov, October 2026

Does the LLC need a registered agent?

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

A Wyoming resident 18 or older whose business office is the registered office, a business entity with an agency agreement with an individual who accepts service there, or a commercial registered agent (one acting for more than ten companies).

see wyoleg.gov, October 2026

What is due in later years?

Keep up with the annual report each year ($60). According to the state, it is due first day of the LLC's anniversary month, which is easy to miss.

see wyobiz.wyo.gov, August 2026

Do I need a service at all?

Yes. Doing it yourself costs only the state's fees, $220 over three years.

The trade is $397 to $597 over three years in exchange for not filing every form yourself.

Why is the order what it is?

Mainstay Filing leads on how much work the price handles, a criterion that carries 28% of the weight.

Our weighting leans on what three years cost first and how much work the price handles second, then three smaller factors.

In Wyoming the annual report falls due every year, and only the first pick files it for you.
