How do I form an LLC in Wyoming?
To form an LLC in Wyoming, file Articles of Organization with the Wyoming Secretary of State online at sos.wyo.gov, pay the $100 filing fee, and designate a registered agent with a Wyoming address. The entire process takes about 6 hours for approval.
Step-by-step: (1) Choose a unique business name and verify availability on the Wyoming SOS website, (2) Appoint a registered agent with a Wyoming physical address, (3) File Articles of Organization online ($100), (4) Receive your approved filing within 6 hours, (5) Apply for an EIN from the IRS, (6) Draft an operating agreement, (7) Open a business bank account. Wyoming is popular because it has no state income tax, no franchise tax, strong privacy protections (members not listed publicly), and the lowest annual fee of any privacy-friendly state ($60/year).
