Starting a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Illinois involves several key costs, from state filing fees to potential annual obligations. Understanding these expenses upfront is crucial for accurate business planning and budgeting. The primary cost is the Illinois Articles of Organization filing fee, which is paid to the Illinois Secretary of State. Beyond this initial filing, other expenses may arise, such as the cost of obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS (which is free), fees for a registered agent service, and potentially costs associated with obtaining business licenses and permits specific to your industry and location within Illinois.
