Delaware LLC: $400 (HB 400) a year, minimum

What the minimum covers — and doesn't

$400 (HB 400) keeps the entity alive (no report). It never includes registered-agent fees ($50–$300), foreign qualifications you trigger elsewhere, or income taxes on profit. Model multi-state totals in the tri-state matrix before choosing a domicile.

Getting started
