Why Nevada?
Despite no state income tax, Nevada's mandatory $200 state business license and annual requirements make it more expensive to maintain than Wyoming. Non-residents can form a Nevada 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). Nevada makes the most sense when you need a Western US presence and specifically require Nevada's no-income-tax environment — otherwise Wyoming is usually a better alternative.
State Fees
These are government fees paid to the State of Nevada — not Edeal's service fee. Edeal registers your LLC for $1 + state fees.
LLC Formation
- Filing fee: $75 — one-time, paid to the Nevada Secretary of State
- Annual fee: $350+/yr — state business license + list, paid to the State of Nevada 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 Nevada and publicly available from the Nevada Secretary of State's office.
Who Nevada Is Right For
- Businesses with physical presence in Nevada — employees, office space, or warehouse
- Companies serving Nevada-based customers — local nexus justifies registration here
- Non-residents when you need a Western US presence and specifically require Nevada's no-income-tax environment — otherwise Wyoming is usually a better alternative
Who Nevada Is Not the Best Fit For
- Freelancers and remote businesses without Nevada 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 Nevada or have a US address to register an LLC?
No. Non-residents from any country can register a Nevada LLC without visiting the state, without a US address, and without an SSN. The only requirement is a registered agent with a Nevada address — Edeal provides this.
What is the annual fee for a Nevada LLC?
The annual government fee for a Nevada LLC is $350+/yr (State Business License + List). This fee is paid to the State of Nevada 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 Nevada LLC?
Yes. A Nevada 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.
