A Connecticut LLC costs $417 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in 2026: a $297 service fee plus the $120 state filing fee, covering filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications. Ongoing cost from year two is $180/year (the $80 annual report plus $100/year registered agent). Founders whose priority is ownership privacy instead choose the Anonymous LLC at $397 all-in through the Wyoming flagship.
A Connecticut LLC costs $417 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $120 Connecticut state filing fee. That price includes the filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications. There are no hidden upsells behind that number. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN $99, ITIN $299, and BOI $150 per report. Founders who want ownership kept off the public record instead choose the Anonymous LLC at $397 all-in, fulfilled through the Wyoming flagship, then foreign-qualify into Connecticut when local operations require registration. The $417 total is quoted at intake and does not change as the formation progresses, so a founder knows the full first-year cost before any work begins.
The Connecticut Secretary of State charges a $120 filing fee for the Articles of Organization, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. The fee is the same whether a founder files directly or through Anonymousllc.co; the $297 service fee sits on top of it and covers the rest of the formation. Connecticut does not add a publication requirement, unlike New York or Arizona, so there is no newspaper cost to budget for. The $120 is a flat state charge that does not scale with the number of members. It is paid once at formation and is separate from the recurring $80 annual report that begins the following year.
A Connecticut LLC costs $180/year from year two: the $80 annual report filed with the Secretary of State plus $100/year for registered agent service. State income tax depends on Connecticut-sourced income and entity-level elections. The $80 annual report keeps the LLC in good standing and updates the registered agent, principal office, and member or manager information. Anonymousllc.co files it as part of registered agent service. Missing the report leads to administrative dissolution, and reinstatement then costs $250 plus state fees, so the recurring $180 is far cheaper than a lapse.
The $417 covers the $120 state filing, registered agent for year one, a Connecticut-specific operating agreement, the EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications to Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and other partner banks. Every step is handled end-to-end. The price is fixed at intake, so there is no metered billing as the formation moves through name search, filing, EIN, and banking. EIN, ITIN, and BOI add-ons are priced separately at $99, $299, and $150. A fully custom operating agreement, beyond the included template, is a $199 add-on for complex multi-member structures. The bank applications go to Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and other partners at once, so a decline at one bank does not restart the process, and the multi-bank approach lifts the overall approval rate to about 90%.
Filing yourself costs the $120 state fee alone, but you handle the name check, Articles, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications without support. The $297 service fee covers all of that plus the 4-5 bank strategy. A non-resident founder gains the most from the service, because the EIN requires a fax filing of Form SS-4 with "Foreign" as the responsible party and banking is harder without a US presence. A US-resident founder with time and a simple single-member structure files directly for $120. The service compresses the timeline to 5-10 business days end-to-end. Most owners find the value is in the parallel handling of name search, filing, EIN, operating agreement, and banking under one fixed price rather than assembling each piece alone.
Connecticut does not charge a Delaware-style flat franchise tax on LLCs. The recurring state obligation is the $80 annual report, not a franchise tax pegged to shares or capital. By contrast, a Delaware LLC pays a $300 flat annual franchise tax due June 1, and Nevada requires an annual list plus a state business license near $350/year. Connecticut's $80 report keeps the recurring state cost low. Connecticut income tax applies to Connecticut-sourced income through the members' personal returns, separate from any entity-level franchise charge.
New Mexico is the cheapest at $347 all-in through Anonymousllc.co with no annual report and no annual fee. Wyoming is $397 all-in with strong anonymity. Connecticut is $417 all-in year one plus $180/year maintenance. Delaware is $407 all-in and adds the $300 franchise tax, and Nevada is $722 all-in with roughly $350/year ongoing. Connecticut's year-one price sits close to Wyoming and Delaware, but a native Connecticut LLC discloses members or managers on the public record, while the four anonymous states keep owners private. Founders weigh cost against the privacy trade-off. New Mexico's zero-maintenance structure makes it the cheapest to hold over five years, while Connecticut's $180/year keeps its recurring cost modest and well below Nevada's.
A Wyoming anonymous LLC is $397 all-in and keeps ownership off the public record. When it operates in Connecticut, foreign qualification with the Connecticut Secretary of State adds the state's registration fee. This path suits founders whose top priority is privacy: the Wyoming LLC lists only the registered agent, and it foreign-qualifies into Connecticut when the business signs a local lease or hires local staff. A native Connecticut LLC at $417 discloses members or managers, so the two options trade a small price difference against ownership privacy. See /wyoming-anonymous-llc/.
A non-US resident pays the same $417 all-in for a Connecticut LLC through Anonymousllc.co, plus any add-ons. Non-residents form the LLC without an SSN or a US visit. Anonymousllc.co obtains the EIN by fax as third-party designee within 5-7 days and submits the bank applications remotely. Banking is harder for non-residents, so the 4-5 bank strategy raises the approval rate to about 90%. An ITIN, at $299, supports personal US tax filing when the non-resident owes US income tax on Connecticut-sourced income.
