Why Wyoming
Wyoming is the state we recommend by default, and the one most of
our founders pick. The reasons are boring, which is the point.
There is no state income tax and no franchise tax,
so the LLC owes Wyoming nothing beyond its annual report. Members
and managers are not listed on the public record: the Secretary of
State publishes the company name and the registered agent, not the
people behind it. The annual report is $60 minimum,
due on the first day of your anniversary month, and takes about five
minutes.
Wyoming also passed the first DAO LLC statute in the United States, so it is a legislature that has at least heard of what you do. Put it together and a Wyoming LLC is about the cheapest limited liability company in the country to keep alive, which matters more in year three than it does on day one. Need a different state, or a corporation? We form in all 50 states, LLC or Inc.

What's Included for $299
The whole thing. The $100 Wyoming filing fee is inside the
price, not on top of it. We prepare and file the Articles
of Organization, obtain your EIN from the IRS, act as your
registered agent and provide the registered office for year one,
draft the operating agreement, scan and forward your official mail,
and introduce you to a crypto-friendly bank. Pay once, in Bitcoin,
Monero, stablecoins or 300+ coins, or by card. Nothing auto-renews.

State Filing Fee
The $100 Wyoming Secretary of State fee is included. We prepare and file the Articles of Organization; the state usually approves in 1 to 3 business days.
EIN (Tax ID)
A Wyoming LLC with EIN is a company that can open a bank account and sign contracts. We obtain it from the IRS for you, with or without an SSN.
Registered Agent & Office
Wyoming requires every LLC to keep a registered agent with a physical address in the state. Ours is included for the first year, with the registered office address.
Operating Agreement
The document that says who owns what and who decides. Banks ask for it, and so should you. Single-member or multi-member, drafted for your structure.
Mail Scanning
Official mail is received at the registered office, then scanned and forwarded to you digitally, wherever you are in the world.
Bank Introduction
We introduce you to a crypto-friendly bank that onboards Wyoming LLCs with foreign owners, and help you through the application once your EIN arrives.
How Much Does a Wyoming LLC Cost?
Two numbers belong to the government and do not change whoever files for you: the state filing fee is $100, and the annual report is $60 minimum. Everything else is a service fee. Our $299 includes the filing fee, the EIN, the registered agent and office for year one, the operating agreement and mail scanning.
Most formation services quote a low headline price and then add the state fee at checkout, a yearly registered agent bill, and an EIN charge if you have no SSN. Add it all up before you compare. From year two, your only costs are the $60 report to Wyoming and $199 a year to us for Registered Agent & Compliance, invoiced a month before it is due. No subscription, no card on file.

Wyoming LLC for Non-Residents
Wyoming does not care where you live. You do not need a US address, an SSN or a visit: the registered office we provide is the company's address, and we file everything online. The EIN is included. If you have an SSN or ITIN it arrives in days; if not, we apply by fax and the IRS usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, which is the one part of the process nobody can speed up.
One compliance point matters. A foreign-owned single-member LLC must file Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 every year, even with no US income, and the penalty for missing it is steep. We flag it before you need it. For the full picture, from formation to a working bank account, read our page on a US LLC for non-residents.

Wyoming LLC as a Holding Company
A lot of our Wyoming formations never trade at all. They hold things: a crypto treasury, the IP behind a protocol, a domain portfolio, or the membership interests in operating companies elsewhere. Wyoming suits this well. The members are off the public record, there is no state tax on what the LLC holds or earns, charging-order protection applies to single-member LLCs as well as multi-member ones, and the $60 annual report is the entire upkeep.
If you are putting a Wyoming LLC holding company above an operating entity or a token project, tell us at onboarding and we will draft the operating agreement for it from day one rather than patching it later.

Wyoming vs Delaware
We form both. Delaware is $349 and pays the state a $400 tax each year. Delaware's advantage is its court system and the fact that US venture investors are used to it. If you are raising from funds who insist on Delaware, choose Delaware and do not fight it.
For everyone else, a crypto founder, a holding structure, a consultant, an online business, Wyoming does the same job for less every single year. Both plans below are available in either state.
