A Minnesota LLC costs $452 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in 2026: a $297 service fee plus the $155 Minnesota state filing fee. The state charges no annual report fee, so ongoing cost from year two is the $100/year registered agent renewal. This breakdown covers the state fee, service fee, ongoing maintenance, add-on pricing, and how Minnesota compares to the four anonymous-LLC states on total cost.
The Minnesota state filing fee is $155, paid once to the Secretary of State when the Articles of Organization are filed. This is the only mandatory state charge at formation. Online filings are accepted within 1-3 business days. There is no separate charge for the registered office listing or the initial member/manager disclosure. Minnesota does not impose a franchise tax at filing, and it does not require a publication notice the way New York and Arizona do, so the $155 is the complete state cost to bring the LLC into existence.
Anonymousllc.co charges a $297 service fee to form a Minnesota LLC, for $452 total once the $155 state fee is added. The service fee covers the full filing, registered agent for year one, a Minnesota-specific operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Filing yourself costs only the $155 state fee, but you handle the name check, Articles, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications alone. The $297 service fee buys done-for-you execution in 5-10 business days and a registered office address that keeps your home address off the record.
The all-in 2026 price is $452 through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $155 Minnesota state fee. That covers filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN standalone $99, ITIN $299, BOI $150 per report if applicable. There are no hidden upsells behind the $452. Founders who value ownership privacy over a native filing form a Wyoming LLC at $397 all-in and foreign-qualify into Minnesota, which layers a Minnesota Certificate of Authority on top of the anonymous parent.
Minnesota charges no annual report fee, so the only recurring cost from year two is the $100/year registered agent renewal if you use a commercial agent. The annual renewal itself is free. Minnesota requires the free annual renewal by December 31 each year to keep the LLC in good standing. Income tax obligations depend on state-sourced profit and the entity's federal election, applied at Minnesota personal rates up to 9.85%. A missed renewal leads to administrative dissolution; reinstating a dissolved Minnesota LLC runs $250 plus state fees through Anonymousllc.co.
The cheapest headline number is DIY: pay the $155 state fee and do everything else yourself. The $297 Anonymousllc.co service fee buys back the time and reduces the risk of a rejected filing, a missing operating agreement, or a failed bank application. DIY founders still need the EIN, an operating agreement every bank demands, and a Minnesota registered agent address. A single rejected filing or a bank decline erases the apparent savings. For non-residents, the fax EIN and multi-bank strategy are the practical value of the service fee, because those steps are hard to run solo from abroad.
New Mexico is the lowest total cost at $347 with Anonymousllc.co and no annual report, and Wyoming is second at $397 all-in with strong anonymity. A native Minnesota LLC is $452 in year one plus the $100/year registered agent. Minnesota's advantage is the free annual renewal, which keeps ongoing state cost lower than Nevada's $350/year annual list and business license or Delaware's $300 flat franchise tax. Minnesota's disadvantage is that it lists members or managers publicly. Founders who weight privacy highest form a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC and foreign-qualify into Minnesota.
A non-resident pays the same $452 all-in through Anonymousllc.co, plus $299 if an ITIN is needed for a personal US tax return. The EIN is included in the $452 and obtained by fax without an SSN. Non-resident banking is harder than resident banking, so Anonymousllc.co applies to four or five partner banks to raise the approval rate to about 90% at no extra charge. There is no travel cost, because the entire process runs remotely over WhatsApp. Foreign-owned single-member LLCs also budget for a Form 5472 filing each year through a US tax preparer.
Year one of a Minnesota LLC is $452 all-in through Anonymousllc.co, and every year after that is $100 for the registered agent renewal, because Minnesota charges no annual report fee. The December 31 annual renewal itself is free. Over five years, the total runs $452 in year one plus $100 in each of years two through five, for $852. That excludes income tax on profit, which depends on earnings, and any optional add-ons such as an ITIN or a custom operating agreement. A missed annual renewal adds a $250 reinstatement cost plus state fees, which on-time free filing avoids entirely.
Running an anonymous LLC in Minnesota layers a Wyoming or New Mexico parent on top of a Minnesota foreign qualification. The Wyoming parent is $397 all-in and New Mexico is $347, plus the Minnesota Certificate of Authority state fee and a Minnesota registered agent. This path costs more than a native $452 Minnesota LLC because it maintains two registrations, but it delivers ownership privacy a native Minnesota LLC cannot. The founder files a home-state renewal and a Minnesota annual renewal each year, and Anonymousllc.co keeps both registered agents and both deadlines aligned. Founders choose this structure when keeping their name off the public record outweighs the extra maintenance.
The $452 covers the $155 state filing, registered agent for year one, a Minnesota-specific operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications to Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and other partners. EIN, ITIN, and BOI add-ons are priced separately at $99, $299, and $150. The registered agent renews at $100/year from year two, and the annual renewal to the Secretary of State is free. Everything in the $452 is executed within the 5-10 business day timeline, with no separate charge for name search, filing preparation, or bank application submission.
