What it costs
Forming an LLC in Kansas costs $249 in total. That is one price covering both the Kansas Secretary of State's filing fee, which we pay on your behalf, and our service for preparing and filing the paperwork. There is nothing else to pay to get your LLC formed.
Kansas is the fastest state we file in. There is no review queue at all.
How long it takes
Kansas files in real time. On our first Kansas filing the certified document was issued in the same minute the payment went through. Kansas is already instant, so expedited buys same-sitting handling of your documents on our side.
Where Kansas filings get tripped up
These are the things we have actually run into filing in Kansas, in plain English.
- Kansas has no usable public name search
- The state's public search sits behind a human-verification wall, so you cannot easily check a name yourself beforehand. The only reliable check is the one inside the filing itself, which we run before paying.
- Members do not appear on the Kansas filing
- The Kansas articles have no field for members or organizers, so ownership is not part of the public record here. That makes your operating agreement the only document that records who owns what — worth having.
What we need from you
Your business name, the address for the company, and the names of the members. That is the whole application, and it takes a few minutes. We prepare and file the Articles of Organization (Form DL) for you, and handle the state's payment.
What you get
Your stamped Articles of Organization from the state, delivered straight to your account as soon as Kansas issues it. From there you can add an EIN, an operating agreement, membership certificates, or registered agent service.
