How to start a free LLC in 2025

  • In 2025, forming an LLC always involves paying your state's required filing fee, so no LLC formation is entirely without cost.
  • This requirement exists because the advertised 'free LLC' services only waive their own fees but not the state's mandatory filing charges.
  • Additional costs may include hiring a professional registered agent, which can cost between $100 and $500 annually, plus other startup expenses.
  • State filing fees vary from about $35 to several hundred dollars, and initial formation steps usually take a few hours, while licenses and agreements require more time.
  • Because each state has distinct costs and processing times, LLC formation expenses and steps differ, but the entity generally remains a cost-effective way to protect personal assets.
