How to Move Your LLC to Wyoming

How to Move Your LLC to Wyoming

If you would like to move your existing LLC to Wyoming, we can help you do this in a few easy steps after you signup online. You can also do it yourself, and just hire us as your Wyoming registered agent (which you'll be required to have).

Wyoming calls this transaction Foreign Limited Liability Company Articles of Continuance in Wyoming. So if you have an LLC from your State, or an expensive State, you can move the domicile of the LLC to Wyoming AND still keep your original date of organization. We do this for people every week!

The most common request is for people to move their Nevada LLC to Wyoming. Nevada has spent millions over the years promoting its business environment, but frankly over the last few years, it doesn't seem like their words are going along with their actions. We have offices in every State, so we're not some company in Wyoming that is biased at all. We don't care where you keep your company, we can be your registered agent in any State. It's just that we operate in every State, pay taxes in every State, and over the years, have put a lot of people in Wyoming because it's the cheapest and has the least amount of red tape to maintain.

Here's the down-side to Nevada:

• You file the initial articles for $75. (Which is all that most incorporating websites do for you or even tell you about.)
• You then have to file a list of members or managers every year for $125 a year. If you're late, it's another $75.
• The whopper is the annoying business license tax. This used to be $100 a year, and completely unregulated. You could get away with not paying it until someone you were doing business with needed to see it. You then asked yourself, "What is a Nevada business license?". You did some digging, and then you found out you would be stuck getting the Nevada business license, and paying a whole bunch of late fees and interest for all the years you didn't know you had to pay it.

**Now, as of July 1st, 2009, the Nevada Department of Revenue shortfall has raised the annual business license to $200 a year. PLUS!! They have closed the loopholes people thought they could get through. Why did people think they could get through it?? Because the Department of Revenue never really cared who filed and paid the $100 a year or not. As of now, you'll have to pay the $200 a year, and pay all the years you didn't pay, plus late fees, plus interest, just to file your annual list of members or managers with the Nevada Secretary of State. So in order to keep your company in good standing, you'll be stuck with HUGE bills if you've had a company for awhile and never paid your annual Nevada business license tax. We are getting phone calls almost every day from people asking us to help them because now they are looking at $1500 plus bills just to file their annual reports with Nevada.

If this is ringing true with you, we can help, but we have to act quick. If you got notice that you need to file your annual report soon and you just went to try to pay it, only to find out you now owe a whole bunch of money just to file your annual report, you might still be in luck. Here's the process to domesticate your LLC in Wyoming. This is the process regardless of whatever State you are from. We do this for people in every State, but it's just that Nevada is the most common exodus of LLC's.

1. We need to get a Certificate of Good Standing from your home State ($50 in Nevada. You can get one online instantly.).
   **The importance of the rush is that we need to get this done before Nevada decides you're not in good standing. The foreign LLC MUST be in good standing to move the LLC to Wyoming.
2. We need to get a current certified copy of your Articles of Incorporation ($30 in Nevada + $75 if you want to do a State 24 hour expedite. Will take about 1-2 weeks without the expedite.).
3. Need to prepare, but not file a Certificate of Dissolution for your home State ($75 in Nevada).
4. Then file the dissolution paperwork in your home State.

So your total if you have a Nevada LLC you would like to move to Wyoming would be:

$400 in State fees
$125 Northwest Registered Agent Service, Inc. as your Wyoming Registered Agent
$150 for us to do all the paperwork and dissolution paperwork in your home State or Nevada.

Nevada to Wyoming total:  $675

If you are from a different State, our fees are the same. It's just what your State will charge for a certified copy of the articles, a Certificate of Good Standing, and the dissolution filing. Most States charge very minimal fees for all of those; Nevada is one of the highest, so you might be looking at our fees plus about $50 max.

Wyoming requires everyone's signatures to be originals. So if you want a super rush on this, there could be some overnight FedEx or UPS fees for you to get the documents back to us after you sign them.

If you would like our help to move your company to Wyoming, you can sign up online for our Wyoming domestication service if you are transferring from Nevada, California, Florida or Delaware. To transfer from other states, please give us a call, submit your info on our Contact Us page, or you can sign up for our Wyoming LLC formation service below.

It won't ring up the total price to move your LLC to Wyoming, because everyone's situation is usually a little different, and there are so many variables on what your home State fees will be, but it will get you close, and we can just take your credit card over the phone for the rest.

We help people move their companies to Wyoming every week! In Wyoming, you only have the $50 annual report due each year. Here's the detailed instructions on how to file it:

You can do it online for $52. There's no filing with the Wyoming Department of Revenue, no annual fee with the Wyoming Department of Revenue, and Wyoming doesn't track or care about the actual ownership of the company, because it doesn't tax anyone on it. The only Wyoming tax is use and personal property tax, if you have items actually in Wyoming.
