Pricing
What it costs to file an LLC.
Forming a business has a real, knowable cost — your state’s filing fee, plus a small set of recurring obligations. The table below covers all 50 states so you can compare. The Midnight Founder currently files in New York; for the others, the numbers are for your reference. We add nothing on top of the state fee.
Section II · Schedule of Fees
Filing fees, in every U.S. state.
What the state itself charges in your first year. We add nothing on top — no service fee, no markup, no upsell. The schedule below is the entirety of what you owe to be properly filed.
