A New Mexico anonymous LLC costs $347 all-in - $297 service fee plus $50 state fee - the cheapest anonymous LLC in the US. No annual report and no annual fee: the only ongoing cost is the $100/year registered agent. Trade-off: banking is harder than Wyoming.

New Mexico costs $347 to form and $100/year after. No annual report, no franchise tax, and no recurring state fee - it is the cheapest anonymous LLC to keep in the country. Our $297 plus the state's $50 covers the filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and 4-5 bank applications. From year two the only bill is the $100 agent. On the public record it is anonymous: New Mexico's filing form never asks for members or managers, so a search shows only the company name, status, date, and agent - nothing about you. The trade-off is banking. Mercury, Relay, and Bluevine accept Wyoming LLCs more easily. If banking is critical, the $50 saving isn't worth it. If you just need an anonymous LLC at the lowest price, New Mexico is the answer.
Best for holding companies, passive asset shells, and budget-first founders who don't need fast banking. It also fits asset-protection layers stacked on top of operating LLCs. Need easy banking or raising VC? Choose /services/wyoming-llc/ at $397 or Delaware instead.
New Mexico LLC formation is a budget-first play. The state charges a $50 filing fee. Only Kentucky, at $40, charges less. Add our $297 service fee and the total is $347. That $347 buys a complete anonymous LLC: formation, registered agent year 1, custom operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications. It runs $50 under Wyoming, $60 under Delaware, and $475 under Nevada. For the right buyer, it is the right answer. Still deciding whether the state fits? Learn more about New Mexico LLCs first.
The right buyer needs the LLC structure but not fast US banking. Four profiles fit:
For these buyers, the $50 saves real money over time. New Mexico charges no annual report and no annual state fee. Ongoing state cost over 5 years is $0. Wyoming costs $300, Delaware $1,500, and Nevada $1,750.
The wrong buyer needs active US banking within the first few weeks. Mercury, Relay, and Bluevine approve NM LLCs less often than Wyoming LLCs. NM LLCs are fully legitimate. But digital-bank compliance teams have less data on the NM profile. The missing annual report also makes ongoing legitimacy harder to verify. Approval rates run 20 to 30 points lower than for equivalent Wyoming LLCs. For active SaaS, e-commerce, agency, or freelance income, that friction rarely beats the $50 saving.
Day-by-day breakdown so you know what's happening at every stage.
We try to be explicit about scope so there are no surprises. Anything below is either outside this SKU, sold separately, or handled by you directly.
Honest line-by-line. We're not the cheapest sticker price in every cell - we're the cheapest after the upsells the others bolt on at checkout.
The intake is short. Five minutes, maybe ten. Below is exactly what we'll ask and why we need each piece.
Before NM filing submitted: 100% refund minus Stripe processing fees. Cancel within 24 hours before Articles reach NM SOS.
After NM filing submitted: $50 NM state fee non-refundable. $297 service refundable if we fail to deliver EIN, OA, or bank applications within 21 calendar days of filing - assuming delay is on our side.
If all bank applications reject: No refund based on bank decisions (outside our control). We re-apply to a second wave of 3 additional banks at no charge. If second wave also rejects (uncommon but possible for NM), we offer redomestication to Wyoming at cost ($100 WY state + $50 our service - no double-charge for the formation portion).
If you redomesticate to Wyoming later: $147 + $100 WY state. Preserves the EIN and the entity continuity. Most common path for NM buyers who hit banking friction after 6-12 months.
