Nevada LLC Formation: Start Your Nevada LLC With No Surprises
Here is how to start an LLC in Nevada: you file Articles of Organization, an Initial List of managers or members, and a State Business License with the Nevada Secretary of State. After that, you pay $350 every year. We file all three for you and explain every fee upfront. Our complete package is $600.
A Nevada LLC with LLCPronto costs $600 all-in, including the state filing fee, EIN, registered agent and mailing address for the first year. After that, the yearly state filing is: $350 a year, due by the end of your anniversary month on SilverFlume. You can form it from anywhere in the world; you do not need to live in Nevada or have an SSN. Start your Nevada LLC.
Nevada LLC at a Glance
Nevada has no state income tax and a business-friendly reputation. It is not the cheapest state, though. A Nevada LLC costs about $350 a year in state fees to keep, so it makes most sense if you actually do business in Nevada.
How to Start an LLC in Nevada in 6 Steps
- Choose a name. It must include “Limited Liability Company,” “LLC,” “L.L.C.” or a similar ending and be different from other names on file.
- Appoint a registered agent. Nevada requires an agent with a physical Nevada address.
- File Articles of Organization. File online through SilverFlume.
- File the Initial List and State Business License. These are filed together with your Articles. The Initial List names your managers or managing members.
- Write an operating agreement and get your EIN. The operating agreement is not filed with the state. The EIN is free from the IRS.
- Register with the Nevada Department of Taxation if needed. If you sell taxable goods in Nevada, you need a sales tax permit.
Our Nevada LLC Package
Our package is one clear price. It covers the state filing, your EIN, a registered agent and a US mailing address for one year, plus our service. There are no separate fees to work out.
- LLC formation and state filing
- Articles of Organization
- Nevada LLC certificate / formation documents
- EIN (federal tax ID)
- Registered agent for 1 year
- US mailing address for 1 year
Optional add-ons: business bank account help, Sales Certificate / Seller Permit ($50), Stripe, Payoneer, Wise, Amazon and Shopify setup. You choose them at checkout.
Nevada's state fees are higher than most states. The package price already includes the Articles, Initial List and State Business License.
Forming Your LLC From Outside the US
You do not need a US visa, an SSN or a trip to the US to form a Nevada LLC. We work with founders in Pakistan, India, the UAE, the UK and many other countries. Here is what we need from you:
- Passport or national ID (for example, a CNIC) for each owner
- Your home address, matching your ID or a recent bill
- Two or three LLC name choices, in order of preference
- Email and WhatsApp number so we can reach you quickly
- What your business will do, in one or two lines
Use your real home address. Banks and payment platforms check it against your ID, and a borrowed address can get accounts closed later.
How Your Order Works
- Order online. Choose your package and any add-ons on our order page.
- Upload your documents. Your passport or ID goes to a private folder only our team can open.
- Pay and send proof. Pay by US bank transfer or, from Pakistan, by Easypaisa or Raast. Send the payment screenshot on WhatsApp.
- We file your LLC. We check the name and file your Articles with the Nevada Secretary of State.
- We get your EIN within 24 hours. Once the state approves your LLC, we get your EIN from the IRS, even without an SSN.
- You get your documents. We send your approved Articles and EIN letter, and your registered agent and US mailing address start.
The Annual List and business license renewal are due by the end of your anniversary month. We remind you before each deadline.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filing the Articles alone. Nevada expects the Initial List and the State Business License at the same time.
- Missing the anniversary month. The state adds a late fee and can later revoke the LLC.
- Mixing personal and business money. Use a separate business account from day one. It keeps your records clean and protects the LLC’s liability shield.
- Forgetting Form 5472. A single-member LLC owned by a non-US person usually files it with a pro forma 1120 every year, even with no US income.
Nevada Annual List and Business License
Each year, by the last day of the month you formed your LLC, you file an Annual List ($150) and renew your State Business License ($200). You file both online through SilverFlume. If you miss the deadline, the state adds a late fee, and your LLC can later be revoked.
Nevada also has a Commerce Tax, but it only applies to businesses with Nevada gross revenue over $4 million a year. Most small LLCs never pay it.
Nevada LLC Requirements and Yearly Costs
To form a Nevada LLC you need a unique name, a registered agent with a Nevada address, and Articles of Organization filed with the Nevada Secretary of State; our $600 all-in package covers all of it, plus your EIN within 24 hours. After that, a Nevada LLC files two things every year:
| Filing | Cost | When |
|---|---|---|
| Annual List of officers/managers | $150 | By the last day of your formation anniversary month, every year |
| State Business License | $200 | Renewed with the Annual List |
| Late penalty (if you miss it) | Extra fees on top of each filing | After the due date |
Benefits and Trade-offs of a Nevada LLC
- No state income tax on individuals or LLC profits.
- Commerce Tax only applies to businesses with more than $4 million in Nevada gross revenue a year.
- Less private than Wyoming or New Mexico: managers or managing members are listed on the public Annual List.
- Higher yearly cost: about $350 a year in state fees, against $60 for Wyoming and no annual report in New Mexico.
See our Nevada annual list guide for deadlines, or compare Wyoming if privacy and low yearly cost matter most.
Nevada vs Wyoming
| Nevada | Wyoming | |
|---|---|---|
| Yearly state cost | $350 | $60 minimum |
| State income tax | None | None |
| Members listed publicly | Yes, on the Initial List | No, not on the Articles |
Both states have no income tax. For a small online business with no Nevada ties, Wyoming usually costs much less each year. Nevada is a better fit if you live or operate there.
