I’m setting up a consulting business and want it protected under a U.S.-based LLC. I’d like guidance on the best state to file in. Wyoming is currently on my radar, yet I’m open to hearing whether Delaware, Nevada, or another jurisdiction would offer stronger advantages for liability, taxes, or privacy. Here’s what I need from you: • Brief comparison of the most suitable states for a consulting LLC and a clear recommendation • Full entity formation in the selected state, including name availability check, Articles of Organization filing, and registered agent setup • EIN acquisition and help with the IRS paperwork • Standard operating agreement drafted for a single-member consulting firm • Initial compliance steps (state-specific reports, publication—if applicable) explained so I stay in good standing Please outline your process, estimated timeline, and anything you’ll need from me to get started (ID docs, business name choices, etc.). I look forward to launching this venture quickly and compliantly with your expertise.

Hello. I can assist you on this matter perfectly. I have created multiple LLCs for many clients before, and it is why I created this freelancer account to expand my work. Insofar as the state is concerned, I advise you with either Colorado or New Mexico if you are a non-US resident. Wyoming though famous is expensive and the annual report is significantly higher in comparison to other states (60$ + something else I believe). New Mexico is famous for having no annual report at all, however, making an LLC & EIN will take up to 15 days. Colorado is the best option to open an LLC and get the EIN in. It only takes 4 days. And the annual report is only 25$. There are cheaper options like Kentucky and Montana, but there are a few limitations like longer time to file the LLC, or in Kentucky's case for example, you can only close the company by paperwork, which means, you would have to hire somebody to do it which would be expensive. The other states on the other hand are done online. So it really depends on what your needs are. If you are not in hurry and you are willing to wait for some time. The cheapest state in the USA is Montana. The second cheapest is Kentucky. Then, Colorado and New Mexico. Colorado combines the best of all worlds from price to time to make the LLC & EIN to a cheap annual report. All states have no taxes as long as you are outside the US. This is not only for Wyoming which is why it became famous in the first place.
