Not legal advice. Open Legal Aid is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation. Our guides and tools offer general legal information and self-help documents only, and using them does not create an attorney–client relationship. Laws vary by state and change over time — for advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney.

Item Cost Required?
Articles of Organization filing fee $250 Yes — one-time
Biennial report $100 every 2 years Yes — recurring
EIN (federal tax ID) $0 Free from the IRS — never pay for this
Operating agreement $0 Recommended — use our free generator
Registered agent $0 yourself, or ~$100–$150/yr for a service Yes — but you can be your own
