Why Arizona?
Low filing fee and no annual report requirement — one of the most cost-efficient states if you operate in the Southwest. Non-residents can form a Arizona LLC without any US address, SSN, or physical presence. Edeal handles the registered agent requirement and the entire filing process.
Most non-residents registering a US LLC choose Wyoming ($100 filing fee, $60/year) or Delaware (investor-friendly). Arizona makes the most sense when you have a physical presence or customers in Arizona, or want a low-maintenance Western state.
State Fees
These are government fees paid to the State of Arizona — not Edeal's service fee. Edeal registers your LLC for $1 + state fees.
LLC Formation
- Filing fee: $50 — one-time, paid to the Arizona Secretary of State
- Annual fee: $0/yr — no annual report, paid to the State of Arizona to keep your LLC in good standing
- Registered Agent: required by law — Edeal provides a registered agent as part of its service
All fees are set by the State of Arizona and publicly available from the Arizona Secretary of State's office.
Who Arizona Is Right For
- Businesses with physical presence in Arizona — employees, office space, or warehouse
- Companies serving Arizona-based customers — local nexus justifies registration here
- Non-residents when you have a physical presence or customers in Arizona, or want a low-maintenance Western state
Who Arizona Is Not the Best Fit For
- Freelancers and remote businesses without Arizona ties — Wyoming or Delaware are usually more cost-effective
- Non-residents seeking maximum privacy — Wyoming and New Mexico offer stronger member privacy protections
- Businesses optimizing purely for cost — Wyoming at $100 + $60/year is typically the baseline for non-residents
If you are unsure which state fits your situation, Edeal can help you compare before you register.
FAQ
Do I need to visit Arizona or have a US address to register an LLC?
No. Non-residents from any country can register a Arizona LLC without visiting the state, without a US address, and without an SSN. The only requirement is a registered agent with a Arizona address — Edeal provides this.
What is the annual fee for a Arizona LLC?
The annual government fee for a Arizona LLC is $0/yr (No Annual Report). This fee is paid to the State of Arizona to keep your LLC in good standing — it is a mandatory government fee, not an income tax rate.
Can I open a US bank account with a Arizona LLC?
Yes. A Arizona LLC formed through Edeal comes with the documentation typically required by US banks and fintechs (Mercury, Relay, Brex). Having an EIN is usually also required — Edeal can assist with that process.
