Layer by layer

How much does forming an LLC cost in this state?

Your bill has two parts: $425 for the filing and, optionally, $199 for first-year help.

State fees for years one through three stack up to $1,125. peek at leg.state.nv.us, confirmed October 2026

Which form is inside the filing, and where does it go?

Open one document, the Articles of Organization, and send it to the Nevada Secretary of State.

Statute: NRS 86.151. The state's processing time: online usually the same day at no extra cost. peek at leg.state.nv.us, confirmed October 2026

Must the LLC name a registered agent?

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

A commercial registered agent, a noncommercial agent (an individual or entity with a physical Nevada address), or the title of an office in the company itself. Anyone acting as agent for 10 or more companies has to register as a commercial agent.

peek at leg.state.nv.us, confirmed October 2026

What is owed in later years?

Underneath it all, one filing repeats: the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal, every year, at $350 each time. The state phrases its deadline like this: last day of the LLC's anniversary month.

File late and the state adds $175.

peek at nvsos.gov, confirmed October 2026

Can I file it myself instead of hiring a service?

Nothing stops you. Without a service, your three-year bill is the state's $1,125.

That $397 to $597 over three years is the price of handing off the paperwork and the agent role.

Why is the stack in this order?

Mainstay Filing is strongest on what is inside the price, a layer worth 29% of the score.

Two layers carry most of the weight, total across three years (34%) and what is inside the price (29%).

In Nevada the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal is due every year, and only the first pick packs its filing into the price.
