Why Mississippi?
Low filing fee and no annual report — among the lowest total-cost states for businesses with Mississippi activity. Non-residents can form a Mississippi 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). Mississippi makes the most sense when you have operations in Mississippi and want minimal ongoing compliance requirements.
State Fees
These are government fees paid to the State of Mississippi — not Edeal's service fee. Edeal registers your LLC for $1 + state fees.
LLC Formation
- Filing fee: $50 — one-time, paid to the Mississippi Secretary of State
- Annual fee: $0/yr — no annual report, paid to the State of Mississippi 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 Mississippi and publicly available from the Mississippi Secretary of State's office.
Who Mississippi Is Right For
- Businesses with physical presence in Mississippi — employees, office space, or warehouse
- Companies serving Mississippi-based customers — local nexus justifies registration here
- Non-residents when you have operations in Mississippi and want minimal ongoing compliance requirements
Who Mississippi Is Not the Best Fit For
- Freelancers and remote businesses without Mississippi 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 Mississippi or have a US address to register an LLC?
No. Non-residents from any country can register a Mississippi LLC without visiting the state, without a US address, and without an SSN. The only requirement is a registered agent with a Mississippi address — Edeal provides this.
What is the annual fee for a Mississippi LLC?
The annual government fee for a Mississippi LLC is $0/yr (No Annual Report). This fee is paid to the State of Mississippi 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 Mississippi LLC?
Yes. A Mississippi 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.
