Mississippi

To form an LLC in Mississippi, you must file a Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State. This process is completed online through the Secretary of State’s business services portal. The state requires a $50 filing fee to process the document. You will need to provide a unique business name, appoint a registered agent with a physical address in the state, and specify whether the entity is member-managed or manager-managed.

Following formation, Mississippi requires all domestic LLCs to file an annual report to maintain good standing. These reports are due each year between January 1 and April 15 and must be submitted electronically through the state's online portal. There is currently no filing fee for domestic LLC annual reports. Failure to file by the deadline may lead to administrative dissolution, so it is important to submit the report annually to ensure your business remains active.
