Good to know
Forming a Missouri LLC from abroad
Who can form a Missouri LLC
Anyone. Missouri does not ask members or managers of an LLC to be US citizens or residents, and you do not need to travel to the United States. What the state does require is a registered agent with a street address in Missouri, which is part of every order with us.
How the filing works
A Missouri LLC comes into existence when the state accepts the Articles of Organization. We prepare and file it for you within 48 hours of your payment. The state usually needs 1–3 business days after that. The state filing fee is $51.25, passed on at cost.
What it costs each year
Missouri is one of the few states with no annual report and no annual fee for an LLC. After the first year the only recurring cost with us is the registered agent at $45 a year.
Taxes in Missouri
Missouri has a state income tax, but it applies to income connected to the state. A foreign-owned LLC with no office, staff or customers in Missouri often has little or no state tax to pay; federal reporting to the IRS applies in every state. This is general information, not tax advice.
