Compare more than the setup price

We form a Wyoming LLC for USD 800, and the annual fee of USD 700 includes state fees and taxes, the registered agent, the registered address and regular administrative services. Wyoming’s annual report is due on the first day of the month the LLC was formed, with a license tax of at least USD 60.

We help form Wyoming LLCs and arrange the support they need after registration. Before you choose the state, compare the company’s annual costs and account requirements with your activity and tax residence.

Fit, documents and risks

Our price list
Wyoming LLC
Formation: USD 800
Annual cost: USD 700

Prices are stated in the currency of our price list. The formation price includes the first year of maintenance, so the annual fee applies from the second year.

Who it suits
  • Owner-managed service or online businesses with a defined reason for a US company and no plan to issue investor shares.
  • Founders comparing the annual cost of Wyoming (USD 700 with us) with Delaware (USD 800).
  • Businesses able to explain their customers, source of funds and the place where the owner works.
Documents to prepare
  • Passport for each owner and manager, with proof of residential address.
  • A description of the activity, customer countries and expected payment flows.
  • Ownership percentages and signing authority for the operating agreement.
  • For a corporate owner: a registry extract, constitutional documents and an ownership chart.
  • Evidence of the business, such as contracts, invoices or a website, for the bank application.
Common misconceptions
  • A Wyoming LLC is anonymous. The public register may show little, but banks, the IRS and the registered agent need accurate ownership information. Plan around correct records rather than anonymity.
  • The annual report is a tax return. It keeps the state record active. The license tax is USD 60 or 0.0002 times the company’s assets located in Wyoming, whichever is greater. Federal filings such as Form 5472 are separate.
  • Low state fees mean a low total cost. State charges are one line of the budget. Form 5472, bookkeeping, banking support and advice in your home country belong in the same calculation.
Risks to plan for
  • An annual report left unfiled 60 days after its due date puts the LLC at risk of administrative dissolution.
  • A missed Form 5472 carries a USD 25,000 IRS penalty.
  • Staff, premises or stock in another state can require registration and tax filings there.
  • A bank can decline the activity, the owner’s residence or a transaction country.

Preparing your Wyoming LLC

Compare the state with your business

Tell us where the owners work and whether the company will have US premises, people or inventory. We discuss the scope before choosing a filing route.

Agree the company arrangements

Our Wyoming service coordinates filing, the registered agent and registered address, followed by an operating agreement, initial resolutions, membership records and a digital document package. Corporate owners need supporting company records as well.

Prepare for administration

Coordinate formation documents and the EIN step, assemble banking evidence and confirm who is responsible for the annual report, records and applicable federal reporting.

Include the annual report and support

The USD 700 annual fee includes state fees and taxes, the registered agent, the registered address and regular administrative services. Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 (USD 120) is added when needed, and FBAR (USD 250) when there is an obligation. Bookkeeping, audit and banking support are agreed separately, so the renewal budget matches the work your LLC actually needs.

Check the address and account requirements

A registered-agent address does not explain where your business operates. Nor does a company name settle which bank will accept its activity. If you work outside the United States or hold stock in another state, those facts belong in the review before an application starts. They can matter more than the state on the certificate.

Separate the registered agent from your operations

A Wyoming registered agent receives the official communications covered by that role. It is not automatically your operating office or a banking address acceptable to every provider. Identify the principal business location honestly and establish how official notices will reach the person responsible for responding.

Understand the annual report

Wyoming requires an annual report and fee to keep an entity in good standing. The due date is linked to the formation anniversary month, and the fee calculation can involve assets in Wyoming. Put this obligation into the operating calendar alongside registered-agent renewal and any tax filings.

Check the payment route early

Ask whether the institutions you intend to use support your owner residence, activity and transaction countries. Prepare a coherent account of what the company sells and how it delivers it. Public-record privacy does not remove the requirement to identify owners to a bank or other relevant authority.

A low state fee is not the full budget

A modest state charge does not make Wyoming the cheapest workable structure. If your residence changes regularly, ask whether the intended bank will accept your current address evidence and customer countries before comparing formation prices.

Privacy, payments and annual filings

What does a Wyoming LLC cost with you?

Formation is USD 800 and the annual fee is USD 700, both in US dollars as listed in our price list. Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 costs USD 120 when needed, and FBAR costs USD 250 when there is an obligation.

What does the annual fee include, and what does the state charge?

Our annual fee includes state fees and taxes, the registered agent, the registered address and regular administrative services. The state’s annual report is due on the first day of the anniversary month, with a license tax of USD 60 or 0.0002 times the assets in Wyoming, whichever is greater. A report left unfiled for 60 days puts the LLC at risk of dissolution.

Is a Wyoming LLC anonymous?

Do not plan around anonymity. Information available on a public register differs from the identification and ownership information banks, service providers and authorities can require. Use accurate ownership records from the start.

How long does the EIN take?

The IRS lets international applicants apply by phone on 267-941-1099 or by fax, and says a faxed application generally receives its EIN within 4 business days. The rest of the timeline depends on your documents and the bank, so we confirm it for your case.

Will I need to register in another state?

Possibly. Actual business activity in another state can create registration or tax obligations there. Review the location of employees, premises, stock and other operating connections before choosing Wyoming.

Does formation include a bank account?

No. Banking support is a separate service priced from EUR 300 to EUR 3,000, excluding bank deposits and the institution’s own fees. The bank decides on the account; our fee covers the agreed work. If you plan to form the company yourself, contact us before you do, because clients who form on their own often do open an account, but some later get stuck without knowing why, and the bank freezes or closes the account.

Do I need FBAR or Form 5472?

Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 applies to a foreign-owned single-member LLC with reportable transactions with its owner, and the IRS penalty for not filing is USD 25,000. FBAR depends on whether the LLC holds financial accounts outside the United States. We prepare them for USD 120 and USD 250 when they apply.

How is the LLC taxed in my home country?

It depends on your tax residence, where you and any staff do the work, and the rules of your country, including any rules on foreign companies. US treatment of the LLC does not decide how your country treats it or its profit. Ask a tax adviser in your country of residence before the company starts invoicing.
