An Arkansas LLC costs $342 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in 2026: a $297 service fee plus the $45 state filing fee, covering filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications. Ongoing cost is the annual franchise tax report at a $150 minimum plus $100/year for the registered agent. Owners who need ownership kept private choose the Wyoming-fulfilled Anonymous LLC package at $397 all-in and foreign-qualify into Arkansas.
The Arkansas Secretary of State filing fee for the Articles of Organization is $45, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. The fee is the same for resident and non-resident owners and does not change with the number of members. Anonymousllc.co pays the $45 to the state as part of the $342 package, so there is no separate state charge to handle. The $45 covers the Articles of Organization; a name reservation before filing is a separate state option most founders skip.
An Arkansas LLC costs $342 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $45 state filing fee. The price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Every core item is bundled into the single number, with no hidden upsells. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN on its own is $99, ITIN $299, and a BOI report $150 where one is owed. Owners who want ownership kept off the public record use the Wyoming-fulfilled Anonymous LLC package at $397 all-in instead.
An Arkansas LLC costs a $150 minimum annual franchise tax report each year, plus $100/year for the registered agent from year two. That puts ongoing maintenance at about $250/year through Anonymousllc.co. Arkansas income tax up to 4.4% applies to profit sourced in the state and is separate from the entity's compliance fees. The franchise tax report keeps the LLC in good standing; missing it moves the entity toward administrative dissolution. Anonymousllc.co files the report as part of registered agent service. The franchise tax report is owed every year the LLC exists, whether or not it traded, so it is a fixed cost of keeping the entity active.
Filing an Arkansas LLC yourself costs the $45 state fee, but you handle the name check, Articles, operating agreement, EIN application, and bank applications alone. Anonymousllc.co charges $297 plus the state fee and does all of it for you in 5-10 days. The DIY route saves the $297 service fee at the cost of time and the risk of a rejected filing or a stalled bank application. Non-resident founders face the added hurdle of obtaining an EIN without an SSN, which requires a fax filing of Form SS-4 and a third-party designee. A single rejected name or a mismatched bank document can add days to a self-managed filing, which erases much of the fee saved.
Add-on services are priced separately from the $342 formation package: EIN on its own is $99, ITIN $299, a BOI report $150, and a custom individually drafted operating agreement $199. Registered agent renewal is $100/year from year two. The core formation package already includes the EIN and a state-specific operating agreement at no extra charge, so most founders pay nothing beyond $342 in year one. Reinstatement of an administratively dissolved LLC is handled at $250 plus state fees on a case-by-case basis.
New Mexico is the cheapest at $347 all-in with Anonymousllc.co and no annual report, Wyoming is $397 all-in with strong anonymity, and Arkansas is $342 at formation plus the $150 minimum annual franchise tax report. Arkansas is $55 below Wyoming at formation. Arkansas does not keep members or managers off the public record, which Wyoming and New Mexico both do. The lower Arkansas formation price buys a public-record LLC; the Wyoming and New Mexico prices buy privacy. Owners weigh the formation savings against ongoing maintenance and privacy needs. New Mexico's lack of an annual report makes it the cheapest to maintain, while Arkansas carries the $150 minimum report every year, so the multi-year total narrows the gap between states.
The Wyoming-fulfilled Anonymous LLC package costs $397 all-in ($297 service fee plus the $100 Wyoming state fee), and foreign-qualifying that entity into Arkansas adds the Arkansas registration and registered agent. This path keeps member and manager names off every public record while still letting the business operate legally in Arkansas. Anonymousllc.co handles the Wyoming formation and the Arkansas foreign qualification together. Owners who have no Arkansas physical presence skip the foreign qualification entirely and run the Wyoming LLC on its own.
An Arkansas LLC costs about $250/year from year two: the $150 minimum annual franchise tax report plus $100/year for the registered agent. There is no repeat of the $45 state filing fee or the $297 formation service fee. Arkansas income tax up to 4.4% applies separately to profit sourced in the state. Owners who add an S-corp election take on payroll and 1120-S filing costs that offset self-employment tax savings above $40,000-$60,000 net income. Anonymousllc.co bundles the registered agent and annual report filing so the recurring compliance cost stays predictable.
No. A non-US resident forms an Arkansas LLC for the same $342 all-in price as a resident, with no surcharge for foreign ownership. The package covers the filing, registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and US bank applications. Non-residents receive the EIN by fax through Anonymousllc.co as third-party designee, which takes 5-7 days, at no extra cost inside the package. An ITIN, needed only for certain personal tax filings, is a separate $299 service. Non-resident owners who want ownership privacy use the Wyoming-fulfilled Anonymous LLC package at $397 all-in instead.
Arkansas LLC formation runs 5-10 business days end-to-end and includes the filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications in the $342 price. Arkansas accepts the filing within 1-3 business days, the IRS issues the EIN 5-7 days after filing for non-residents, and bank approval lands 8-10 days after the EIN. Anonymousllc.co runs the name check and prepares backup names before filing so a rejected name does not delay the process. Every item in the timeline is covered by the single $342 price, so there is no stage where an unexpected charge appears mid-process.
