How to form an LLC in Nevada

Nevada LLCs are formed by filing Articles of Organization with the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division — the official filing fee is $75 (see the fee notes below). Corpus prepares and files it for $556 all-in, including your first year of registered-agent service.

What you’ll need

The Corpus intake collects this information to prepare the filing. Some questions are asked only when they apply — for example, the management question is asked only when the company has more than one owner.

  • What do you want to name the company?
  • In a sentence, what will the business actually do?
  • Where should official mail go — street, city, state, ZIP?
  • What email should we use for this order?
  • Which industry code fits this business?
  • Besides you, will anyone else have authority to make decisions for the business?
  • Who owns this company?

Nevada asks nothing beyond the standard questions.

$436 = Nevada’s $425 in formation fees for an online filing (including the initial list of managers or managing members and state business license, due with the articles by default) + $11 of other state processing charges for the way Corpus files (expedite, card or online-portal fees).

Registered agent renews at $99/yr after the included first year — cancel anytime. Itemized pricing for every state is on the price grid; how Corpus compares to other formation services is on the comparison page.

Every verified fact above names where Corpus read it and the date it was last verified. Sources marked secondary are third-party write-ups used only where an official page did not publish the answer.

Corpus is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Fees and rules change — each verified fact above shows the date Corpus last verified it; anything marked “not yet verified” should be confirmed with the filing office.
