Missouri LLC Cost (2026): Real Filing Fees, Annual Reports & Year-1 Totals
The real cost of forming an LLC in Missouri in 2026, with each dollar figure linked to an authoritative source. This page is the cost-table-only variant of our full Missouri LLC formation guide; if you also need the 6-step walkthrough, FAQ, and tool comparisons, start there.
Year-1 cost table
| Item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Articles of Organization (state filing fee) | $50 | cite |
| Biennial Report (due in even years only) | $0 (first year); $10 thereafter | cite |
| Registered Agent (Northwest Registered Agent) | $125/year | cite |
| Same-day expedite (optional) | $25 | cite |
| Typical Year 1 Total | $175 | cite |
Two cost drivers underneath the table: Articles of Organization filing (a one-time fee per filing) and registered agent fees (an ongoing yearly service). Both are line-itemed above.
Annual filing deadline
Missouri LLCs file a biennial report (not annual) in even-numbered years by the last day of your registration anniversary month; odd-year formations skip the first filing cycle, so a 2026 formation would first file in 2028.
