Alaska
Articles of Organization
$
250
To form an LLC in Alaska, you must file Articles of Organization with the Division of Corporations. The process involves choosing a distinguishable name, appointing a registered agent with a physical address in the state, and identifying your NAICS code. The state requires a $250 filing fee for this document. Once filed, you must also submit an initial report within six months of formation, which carries no additional fee.
Alaska does not require annual reports; instead, LLCs must file a biennial report every two years. This report is due by January 2 of the filing year, determined by whether your LLC was formed in an even or odd-numbered year. The filing fee for a domestic LLC is $100. Ensuring these reports are submitted on time helps maintain your business's good standing and avoids late fees or potential dissolution by the state.
