Hawaii

To form an LLC in Hawaii, you must file Articles of Organization with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. The process involves selecting a unique business name, appointing a registered agent with a physical Hawaii address, and submitting the paperwork online, by mail, or in person. The standard filing fee is $50, with an optional $25 fee for expedited processing.

After formation, LLCs must file an annual report to remain in good standing. This report updates basic information like business addresses and names of members or managers. It does not require financial data. Reports are due by the end of the quarter in which the business was originally registered. The filing fee is $12.50 for online submissions and $15 for paper forms. Missing these deadlines may result in late fees or administrative dissolution.
