First 90 Days After LLC Formation: Checklist - Anonymousllc.co's 2026 reference. Covers the rule, the controlling statute or regulation, common questions, and how Anonymousllc.co handles it in practice. Primary-source citations linked throughout.
In the first 90 days after forming an LLC, confirm the state approved your Articles, secure your EIN, sign the operating agreement, open a business bank account, and set a calendar for the state's annual maintenance. Those five moves turn a filed entity into a working company. Formation is the start line, not the finish. The state stamps your Articles of Organization in 1-3 business days, but the LLC only becomes usable once the EIN issues, the operating agreement is signed, and money can move through a dedicated bank account. Anonymousllc.co runs all five steps inside one 5-10 business-day workflow so nothing is left dangling. This checklist applies to a Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, or Nevada anonymous LLC. Each state adds one recurring obligation - an annual report, a franchise tax, or an annual list - and the first 90 days is when you lock those dates into a reminder system.
This checklist serves three groups: new founders forming a first anonymous LLC, existing owners restructuring or adding an entity, and non-US residents building a US company from abroad. Anonymousllc.co's intake covers all three on one WhatsApp thread. New founders benefit most because the order of operations matters: the EIN depends on approved Articles, the bank account depends on the EIN and operating agreement, and BOI scope depends on whether the entity is domestic or foreign. Skip a step and the next one stalls. Non-residents face the same checklist with two procedural differences - the EIN is filed by fax instead of online, and personal tax matters need an ITIN. Founders in 80+ countries run this exact sequence with Anonymousllc.co.
Week one has four line items: confirm the state approved the Articles, start the EIN application, sign the operating agreement, and begin the bank applications. Anonymousllc.co runs these concurrently rather than in sequence. The state-approval confirmation gives you a stamped Articles of Organization - the document banks and the IRS ask for. The operating agreement, included in every formation package, documents ownership and management so a single-member LLC holds its liability shield. The EIN and bank applications go in the same week because banking approval depends on both the EIN letter and the operating agreement. Starting all four together is why the full workflow lands inside 5-10 business days instead of stretching across a month of hand-offs.
The EIN is the IRS tax ID every US LLC needs to bank, file taxes, and report BOI where required. Anonymousllc.co files Form SS-4 for $99 standalone, or included in the $397 formation package, and the number issues 5-7 business days after filing. US-resident applications with an SSN can issue faster online. Non-residents without an SSN enter "Foreign" on Line 7b of Form SS-4 and file by fax, which the IRS processes on a longer timeline. Anonymousllc.co is listed as the Third-Party Designee so the IRS routes clarifications and the EIN letter directly to us. The legal name on the EIN letter must match the Articles exactly. A mismatch is the leading reason a bank rejects an account application, so Anonymousllc.co quality-checks the name before submitting.
A business bank account opens 8-10 days after the EIN issues, which itself lands 5-7 days after filing - so a first account clears within the 5-10 business-day formation window. Anonymousllc.co submits 4-5 bank applications per client. Anonymousllc.co works with 4-5 partner banks, including Mercury, Relay, and Bluevine, and sees about 90% approval on the applications it submits. Banks require the stamped Articles, the EIN letter, and the signed operating agreement, which is why all three are produced before the applications go in. Fozlol Hoq handles banking questions on the WhatsApp thread, including cases where a first bank declines and a second application is needed. Opening a dedicated account keeps business and personal funds separate, which reinforces the liability shield.
For a domestic US LLC, no. The March 21, 2025 FinCEN interim final rule exempts domestic reporting companies from beneficial ownership information reporting, so a Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, or Nevada LLC has no BOI filing due. Foreign reporting companies - entities formed abroad and registered to do business in a US state - remain obligated to file. Anonymousllc.co files BOI reports at $150 each for entities that still carry an obligation, and the BOI Status Tracker shows the current requirement so you verify it against the live rule. Because the exemption came through an interim final rule rather than a settled statute, the first 90 days is the right time to bookmark the tracker and confirm your entity's status rather than assume it.
The first 90 days cost the formation price plus any add-ons you need: Anonymous LLC $397 all-in (Wyoming), New Mexico $347, Delaware $407, Nevada $722. EIN, operating agreement, registered agent year one, and bank applications are included in that price. Each state price is a flat $297 service fee plus the state filing fee - $100 Wyoming, $50 New Mexico, $110 Delaware, $425 Nevada. Add-ons priced separately: EIN $99 standalone, ITIN $299, BOI initial filing $150, registered agent $100/year after year one. The end-to-end timeline is 5-10 business days. Non-residents add time for the fax EIN, and an ITIN is a longer IRS process handled separately from formation.
After the first 90 days, one recurring obligation begins per state: Wyoming's annual report, Delaware's franchise tax, Nevada's annual list and business license, or - for New Mexico - none at all. Set the date now so nothing lapses later. Wyoming charges a $60 minimum annual license tax due in the formation-anniversary month. Delaware charges a $300 flat annual franchise tax due June 1. Nevada requires an annual list plus a state business license totaling about $350 per year. New Mexico requires no annual report and no annual fee, which is a core reason founders pick it. Registered agent service renews at $100/year in every state. Anonymousllc.co sends WhatsApp reminders 30 days before each deadline so the first missed-deadline penalty never happens.
The costliest first-90-days mistakes are missing a state deadline, losing the EIN letter through a discount service, naming the wrong responsible party on Form SS-4, conflating an EIN with an ITIN, and self-listing as registered agent - which exposes your name and voids the anonymity. Each mistake has a downstream cost. A lost EIN letter blocks banking. A wrong responsible party forces an IRS correction call. Self-listing as registered agent puts your personal name and street address on the public Articles, defeating the entire reason for an anonymous LLC. Anonymousllc.co's onboarding checklist covers each item on the WhatsApp thread, and the reminder system catches the state-deadline mistakes that surface months after formation.
Anonymousllc.co runs the first 90 days as one managed workflow: confirm scope on WhatsApp, file the Articles the same business day, secure the EIN, deliver the operating agreement, submit 4-5 bank applications, and set the annual-maintenance reminders. Everything runs on one thread with named specialists - Shafwan Ahmed on operations, Fozlol Hoq on banking, Alif Al Razi on tax and compliance. You are not handed off to a queue between steps. The one-page quote confirms exactly what is included before any filing starts. The sister resources linked below cover the individual pieces in depth - the sample operating agreement, the state fee charts, and the SS-4 walkthrough - for founders who want to verify each step against the underlying documents.
