A Missouri LLC costs $347 total in year one through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $50 Missouri state filing fee. Missouri charges no LLC annual report fee, so year-two maintenance is just the $100/year registered agent renewal. The $347 covers filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications. Founders who need anonymity choose the Anonymous LLC package at $397 all-in, Wyoming-fulfilled, which keeps owners off the public record.
The Missouri Secretary of State charges a $50 filing fee for the Articles of Organization, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. Missouri accepts the online filing within 1-3 business days. There is no separate publication requirement, no county-level fee, and no minimum franchise tax at formation. The $50 is a flat charge that does not scale with capital or membership. Anonymousllc.co pays this fee to the state on the founder's behalf as part of the formation package, so there is no separate state payment to manage.
Missouri charges no LLC annual report fee, so the only recurring cost is the $100/year registered agent renewal when the owner uses a commercial agent. There is no annual state filing to track. This makes Missouri one of the lighter states to maintain. A Wyoming LLC carries a $60 minimum annual report license tax; a Delaware LLC carries a $300 flat franchise tax; Missouri carries neither. Income tax obligations depend on the profit that flows through to members, where Missouri personal income tax reaches up to 4.7%. The registered agent renewal is the single predictable line item after year one.
Filing alone costs the $50 state fee, but the owner then handles name checks, the operating agreement, the EIN, and bank applications without support. Anonymousllc.co charges a $297 service fee on top of the state fee and does all of it in 5-10 days. The service fee buys the name search with backup names, the Missouri-specific operating agreement, the EIN (including the non-resident fax path without an SSN), and four to five parallel bank applications. A self-filer who stalls at the EIN or a bank rejection loses more in time than the service fee costs in money. The $347 total removes every one of those failure points.
Anonymousllc.co forms a Missouri LLC for $347 total: a $297 service fee plus the $50 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 $99, ITIN $299, and BOI filing $150 where applicable. Nothing is hidden behind the headline number. Founders who need their names off the public record choose the Anonymous LLC package at $397 all-in, Wyoming-fulfilled, then foreign-qualify into Missouri when local operations require a registered presence in the state.
Keeping ownership private in Missouri means forming the entity in an anonymous state and foreign-qualifying into Missouri, since a native Missouri filing lists members or managers. A Wyoming anonymous LLC costs $397 all-in; a New Mexico anonymous LLC costs $347 total. Both keep members and managers off every public filing. On top of the home-state formation, a Missouri foreign qualification adds the state's foreign registration fee plus the Missouri registered agent at $100/year when the business needs a local presence. The trade is a modest ongoing cost for an ownership record that lives in a state publishing nothing about members.
A Missouri LLC lands at $347 total through Anonymousllc.co with no annual report fee, matching New Mexico on total cost and beating states that carry a franchise tax. The main difference is anonymity, not price. New Mexico is the cheapest anonymous option at $347 total with no annual report and owners off the public record. Wyoming is $397 all-in with a $60 annual report license tax and strong anonymity. Delaware is $407 total with a $300 flat annual franchise tax. Missouri matches New Mexico on maintenance but publishes ownership, so a privacy-focused founder pairs Missouri operations with an anonymous home-state entity.
A Missouri LLC costs $347 in year one and $100/year after that, so five years of ownership runs $747 total when the owner uses a commercial registered agent. There is no annual report fee to add across those years. That five-year figure covers the $50 state filing once, the $297 service fee once, and four $100 registered agent renewals. It excludes income tax on profit and any optional add-ons. Against a Delaware LLC, which adds a $300 franchise tax every June 1, Missouri saves $1,200 over the same five years. The absence of a recurring state fee is what keeps the long-run cost low.
A Missouri LLC avoids three costs that weigh on other states: no annual report fee, no franchise tax, and no publication requirement. Those absences remove the recurring charges that make some states expensive to maintain. New York, by contrast, forces newly formed LLCs to publish in two newspapers for six weeks, a cost that can reach several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on the county. Missouri imposes nothing like it. Delaware and Nevada layer on annual franchise or list-and-license fees that Missouri does not charge. The Missouri cost profile is the $50 filing, the service fee once, and the registered agent renewal, with no surprise state charge behind them.
Missouri income tax adds up to 4.7% on the profit that passes through to members, but it is not a fee for holding the LLC. The tax applies to earnings, so an LLC with no Missouri-sourced profit owes no Missouri income tax. This sits apart from the $347 formation total and the $100/year registered agent, which are the fixed costs of owning the entity. A profitable Missouri LLC also carries 15.3% federal self-employment tax on net income under the default treatment, which an S-corp election can trim once net income clears $40,000-$60,000. The formation cost is fixed; the tax cost scales with what the business earns.
The $347 Missouri LLC payment bundles the state filing, registered agent for year one, the operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications into a single price. There is no line-item billing for each step. The EIN is included even for non-residents, filed by fax without an SSN as third-party designee. The bank applications go to Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and other partners in parallel to lift the approval odds. Optional extras sit outside the bundle: an ITIN at $299, BOI filing at $150 where applicable, and a custom operating agreement at $199. A founder pays once and receives the full working structure.
