What the Wyoming state fee does not include
The filing fee buys the state's approval of the Articles of Organization and nothing else. These are the costs that sit outside it.
- Registered agent. Wyoming requires one, with a street address in the state. Serving as your own agent is free; the address becomes public record. Our registered agent service can be added in the application. Wyoming registered agent requirements.
- Operating agreement. Not filed with the state and free if you write it yourself. Our self-help template is available after checkout.
- Business licenses and permits. Set by the city, county or licensing board for your line of business, not by the formation filing. Many Wyoming LLCs need none; a restaurant, contractor or salon usually needs several.
- Taxes. An LLC's income is taxed through its owners' returns unless it elects otherwise, and sales tax or employer registrations are separate state accounts with no formation fee attached.
- Filing service. Our fee is itemized on the checkout review screen before you pay, with same-day submission as an option. The state fee is identical either way.
How to pay less for a Wyoming LLC
- File the Articles of Organization yourself. Wyoming takes it online at wyobiz.wyo.gov for the $100 state fee alone.
- Be your own registered agent if you have a Wyoming street address and are there during business hours. The trade-off is privacy: the address goes on the public record.
- Write your own operating agreement. No state charges for it and Wyoming does not file it.
- File the Annual Report on time. Wyoming charges no late fee, but a missed report still leads to loss of good standing and dissolution.
- Skip state expedite unless a date depends on it. The state's standard queue costs nothing extra.
- Form where you do business. An LLC that operates in Wyoming but is formed elsewhere must register in Wyoming as a foreign LLC anyway, paying Wyoming's registration fee and its recurring report on top of the home state's.
