What Mississippi charges a foreign LLC, from registration to cancellation

Mississippi charges $250 to register a foreign LLC, then $250 for each yearly report, and $25 to cancel the registration when the company leaves. If the LLC began working here before it registered, $10 a day is added to the registration fee, up to $1,000 for a year. Preparing the application and filing it is our fee of $199, and checkout shows the state's charge and ours on separate lines.

How is the daily add-on counted?

The fee section sets the registration fee at $250 and adds $10 for each day, to no more than $1,000 for each year the foreign LLC transacts business without a registration. Thirty days of delay is $300 extra, ninety days $900, and the amount stops growing at $1,000 for the year. Each extra year of unregistered business brings its own ceiling. Give us the real start date and we work the add-on out when we prepare the filing.

First-year cost with the home-state bill

Mississippi's fee is one part of a foreign LLC's first year. Add Delaware's annual tax and a Delaware LLC reaches $650; add Wyoming's annual minimum and a Wyoming LLC reaches $310. The certificate from home costs extra as well, and a Delaware good standing certificate brings the Mississippi side to $300 when the registration fee is included. Each home state is worked through on its own page, Delaware and Wyoming. Our fee sits on its own line at checkout and never changes the state's amounts.

What is not in the Mississippi fee

The schedule prices what the Secretary of State files, and no other cost. An agent you hire sends its own bill. A commercial agent has to be listed with the office, and the listing carries its own $100 fee, paid by the agent. Taxes sit outside the schedule too: the guide tells most entities to register with the Department of Revenue, and companies with employees may owe unemployment insurance registration. Our charge pays for preparing and submitting the filing and nothing else; it is not a state fee and does not reduce one.

What our fee covers

Our fee of $199 buys a finished application built from your answers, a check of the home certificate's age, a test of the agent's street address, the signature gathered and the filing submitted. The first year of our service as your Mississippi registered agent is included, or you can name your own. To compare, the self-filing page lays out what filing without us takes.

Registered agent: first year included, then $149 a year

$199 plus the state fee, including your first year of registered agent service; after that the agent service renews at $149 a year.

What is the cancellation fee?
