Wisconsin
Articles of Organization
$
130
To form an LLC in Wisconsin, you must file Articles of Organization with the Department of Financial Institutions. The process involves choosing a unique name that includes an LLC designator and appointing a registered agent with a physical Wisconsin address. Filing online is the most efficient method and requires a $130 fee, while mail-in filings cost $170. Once approved, it is recommended to draft an operating agreement to outline your business’s internal management structure.
To maintain your LLC’s good standing, you must file an annual report every year. This report is due by the end of the calendar quarter in which your LLC was originally formed. For example, if your business was organized in February, the deadline is March 31. The filing fee for a domestic LLC is $25 when submitted online. Failure to file can eventually lead to administrative dissolution of the business.
