A Rhode Island LLC costs $447 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in 2026: a $297 service fee plus the $150 Rhode Island state filing fee, covering filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications. Ongoing costs are the $50 annual report and the $100/year registered agent, about $150/year from year two. Rhode Island lists members or managers on the public record, so founders who want privacy form a Wyoming anonymous LLC at $397 all-in or New Mexico at $347 and foreign-qualify into Rhode Island.
A Rhode Island LLC costs $447 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $150 Rhode Island state filing fee. That single price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. There are no upsells hidden behind that number. Add-on services are priced separately only when needed: EIN $99, ITIN $299, and BOI filing $150. Founders whose priority is owner privacy form a Wyoming anonymous LLC at $397 all-in and foreign-qualify into Rhode Island, which keeps member names off the public record.
The Rhode Island Secretary of State charges a $150 filing fee for the Articles of Organization, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. The $150 is separate from the $297 Anonymousllc.co service fee, and together they make the $447 all-in price. Filing the Articles yourself costs only the $150 state fee, but you then handle the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications alone. Rhode Island accepts the filing within 1-3 business days once the Articles are submitted.
The recurring Rhode Island LLC cost is about $150/year from year two: the $50 annual report plus the $100/year registered agent if using a commercial service. There is no first-year service fee to repeat. Rhode Island also applies state personal income tax of up to 5.99% on pass-through profit, and LLCs electing corporate tax treatment face the state minimum business corporation tax. Income tax obligations depend on state-sourced income and entity-level elections. Anonymousllc.co files the annual report as part of the registered agent subscription, so the $50 filing is tracked and met each year.
Filing yourself costs only the $150 state fee, but you handle the name check, Articles, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications alone. Anonymousllc.co charges a $297 service fee on top of the state fee and completes the entire setup in 5-10 days. The DIY route saves the $297 in cash but costs time and carries the risk of a rejected filing or a missed step that delays banking. Non-residents face the added hurdle of obtaining an EIN without an SSN, which the service handles by fax as third-party designee. The $447 all-in price covers every step through a funded US bank account.
Rhode Island does not charge a Delaware-style annual franchise tax on LLCs taxed as pass-through entities. It does apply a minimum annual business corporation tax to LLCs that elect corporate (C-corp or S-corp) tax treatment. The ongoing state obligation for a default pass-through LLC is the $50 annual report, not a franchise tax. Rhode Island personal income tax of up to 5.99% applies to profit that flows through to the owners. Founders comparing states should weigh the $50 annual report against Delaware's $300 flat franchise tax and Nevada's roughly $350/year annual list and business license.
New Mexico is the lowest total cost at $347 all-in with no annual report and no annual fee, and Wyoming is $397 all-in with strong anonymity and a $60 annual report. Rhode Island costs $447 in year one plus about $150/year in maintenance. Rhode Island also charges up to 5.99% state income tax, while Wyoming and Nevada charge no state income tax. For a founder who does not operate physically in Rhode Island, forming a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC and foreign-qualifying into Rhode Island keeps ownership private and lowers ongoing cost. The Rhode Island entity makes sense when local presence is the priority.
The $447 covers the $150 state filing fee plus the $297 Anonymousllc.co service fee. That bundles the state filing, registered agent for year one, a Rhode Island-specific operating agreement, an EIN from the IRS, and applications to four or five US banks. EIN, ITIN at $299, and BOI filing at $150 are priced separately and added only when needed. Anonymousllc.co runs the name check and prepares two or three backup names before filing, so a rejected first choice never delays the filing. The price carries no recurring service fee: from year two the only costs are the $50 annual report and the $100/year registered agent.
A non-resident pays the same $447 all-in for a Rhode Island LLC and forms without an SSN or visa. The EIN is obtained by fax without an SSN, and banking runs through Mercury, Relay, and Bluevine applications. Banking approval is harder for non-residents than for US residents, but applying to four or five partner banks at once delivers roughly a 90% approval rate. Non-residents who also need a personal US tax ID add the ITIN at $299. The entire process is handled remotely over WhatsApp, with no US visit required.
Add-on services are priced separately from the $447 formation: EIN $99, ITIN $299, and BOI filing $150 per report where a foreign reporting company is obligated. Each is added only when the specific LLC needs it. Reinstating a dissolved Rhode Island LLC costs $250 plus state fees. A custom-drafted operating agreement for a complex ownership structure is $199, though a standard template is included free with formation. These prices are quoted upfront, so the total cost of a Rhode Island LLC stays transparent with no surprise charges layered onto the base $447.
Reinstating an administratively dissolved Rhode Island LLC costs $250 plus state fees through Anonymousllc.co, on top of the back annual reports and accrued penalties owed to the state. Acting quickly limits the penalties. Dissolution happens after missed annual reports push the LLC out of good standing. Reinstatement restores the entity and its original formation date once the state approves the application. Keeping the $100/year registered agent and the $50 annual report current is far cheaper than reinstatement, which is why Anonymousllc.co bundles annual report filing into registered agent service.
