OUR FOCUS
Florida, Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota and Nevada are often suggested to founders abroad. They can work, but each comes with costs, deadlines or limits that Wyoming and Delaware avoid. Focusing on two states lets us do them very well, at one clear price.
WHY ONLY TWO STATES
Wyoming and Delaware have clear yearly fees and deadlines. You know what you will pay before you start.
Our formation price is the same in both states, with the state fee included and nothing added at checkout.
We know each form, deadline and penalty in these two states in detail, so nothing is missed.
STATE BY STATE
Each of these states can be the right choice for someone who lives or runs a business there. For a founder abroad with an online business, here is why we recommend Wyoming or Delaware instead.

LLC COSTS AT A GLANCE
Cheaper is not always better. Wyoming keeps costs low with simple rules, and Delaware is the state investors know.
| State | Formation Fee | Yearly State Cost | Yearly Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming ✓ | $100 | From $60 | First day of the anniversary month |
| Delaware ✓ | $110 | $400 franchise tax | June 1 |
| Florida | $125 | $138.75 | May 1 |
| Texas | $300 | $0 below $2.65M revenue, report still required | May 15 |
| New Mexico | $50 | $0, no report | None for single-member LLCs |
| South Dakota | $150 | $50 | First day of the anniversary month |
| Nevada | About $425 | $350 | End of the anniversary month |
LLC state fees as published by each state, checked October 2026. Corporations pay different amounts. A low state fee is only one part of the cost: state tax returns, late penalties and how familiar banks and investors are with a state matter too.
ALREADY HAVE A COMPANY IN ONE OF THESE STATES?
Our services that work in every state are open to your company, wherever it was formed.
QUESTIONS
No. Every state is a legal choice. These states can suit people who live or run a business there. For founders abroad with an online business, Wyoming or Delaware is usually simpler.
If your company has an office, staff or a warehouse in a state, it may need to register there too, wherever it was formed. Tell us about your setup and we will point you in the right direction.
Some states let a company move to another state. It involves state fees in both states, so ask us for a quote.
Yes. Our federal tax return, registered agent and Mercury banking support are offered for companies in any state, at the same price.
