Understanding State Differences

Why State Requirements Vary

Each state has its own business laws and regulations, resulting in different:

• Filing fees and annual maintenance costs
• Processing times and expedite options
• Registered agent requirements
• Ongoing compliance obligations

Choosing the Right State

Consider these factors when selecting a state for your LLC:

• Where you'll conduct business
• State and local tax implications
• Annual fees and compliance costs
• Privacy and asset protection laws
