| Articles of Organization (state filing fee) | $100 | cite |
| Annual Report (NH has NO annual report) | $0 | cite |
| Registered Agent (Northwest, 1st year) | $125 | cite |
| Business Profits Tax / Business Enterprise Tax (if gross receipts >$92k or enterprise value tax base >$267k) | BPT 7.5% / BET 0.55% | 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
New Hampshire does not require LLCs to file annual or biennial reports, eliminating ongoing state compliance costs beyond potential BPT/BET filings for businesses exceeding the gross receipts threshold.
