Start my Nevada LLC
Nevada LLC for non-residents

A Nevada LLC, formed from abroad, with the law built to guard your share

If someone wins a claim against you personally, Nevada lets them wait for payouts, not take your share or the company's assets. That holds even if you're the only owner. No Nevada income tax, and your tax number filed without an SSN. $504 to start, $419 a year, run from anywhere.

Formed online in Nevada: no trip, and no US home address needed.

1Remedy left to your personal creditor: a charging order
01The price of the shield

Nevada LLC vs Wyoming, Florida and Delaware over the years

Nevada's state fees are among the highest in the country. You're paying for a stronger shield, not a quieter record. Slide to the years you plan to keep it.

State fees only, at today's rates. Our own fee is extra in every state.
02Asset protection

Nevada LLC asset protection: what the charging order covers

Nevada's law says a charging order is the only remedy a member's personal creditor gets, and says it again for one-member companies. It has limits. Pick who is coming after you.

03The public record

What the Nevada business search shows

Three papers matter. Two are public, and the yearly list names whoever manages the company. Owners who don't manage are never filed. Choose who manages.

04The tax picture

Nevada LLC taxes for non-residents

Nevada has no income tax. It has a commerce tax on very large Nevada sales and a payroll tax on Nevada staff. For most founders abroad, both stay at zero. Try yours.

    05Your yearly date

    Nevada annual list: when yours is due

    Nevada has no shared deadline. Your list falls due at the end of the month you formed, every year. Pick a month to see yours.

      06Crypto

      A Nevada LLC for crypto: where the licence line sits

      Nevada's money transmission law covers moving money for other people, and its counties and cities may not tax or license using a blockchain. More places in our crypto company guide.

      07The whole bill

      Nevada LLC cost, with all three state fees shown

      Three state fees arrive together, so any price starting near $75 is only the first of them. Ours shows all three, then the yearly two.

      Year one

      NevadaAt cost: $75 articles, $150 initial list, $200 business licence$425
      HeirsonAgent for the first year, the filing, an operating agreement, the EIN by fax with no SSN, and your US bank application prepared together$79

      Nominee managerUS$480 a yearNamed on state filings instead of you; the IRS still knows the responsible party

      Comparison, November 2026: the cheapest complete first year on offer to a no-SSN founder was $522, or $619 with an operating agreement, and the cheapest done-for-you renewal about $485. State fees make up most of both, so there is little room underneath. Add Form 5472 and ours comes to $598 a year, where the cheapest rival package costs about $933.

      Questions

      Nevada LLC questions, answered

      Weighing the cheaper states? Our guide to US LLCs for non-residents ranks all five by cost, record and protection, or see our Wyoming LLC, Florida LLC and Delaware LLC pages.

      Can I form a Nevada LLC without living in the US?
      Yes, from any country and with no trip. Nevada needs a registered agent with a street address in the state, which we provide.
      How much does a Nevada LLC cost?
      The state takes $425 to form, covering the articles, the initial list and the business licence, then $350 a year. With Heirson it's $504 in year one and $419 a year after, agent and tax number included.
      When is the Nevada annual list due?
      By the last day of the month you formed in, every year from the first anniversary. The business licence renews in the same filing, and we send both before the month starts.
      Is a Nevada LLC anonymous?
      No. The articles and every yearly list name the managers, with an address. Owners who don't manage aren't filed. Naming your own holding company as manager keeps you off them, or Wyoming gives a quieter record for less (Nevada vs Wyoming, side by side). Our Nevada business search guide shows what the ORION record displays.
      Does the charging order protect a single-member LLC?
      Nevada's statute says yes, in so many words. A court elsewhere may not follow Nevada's rule, and it never covers the company's own debts, debts you guaranteed personally or assets moved to dodge a creditor.
      Do I have to file a Nevada commerce tax return?
      Not unless your Nevada sales top $4 million in a July to June year. Below that, the state doesn't ask for a return at all, a rule in force since the 2018 to 2019 year. Both Nevada thresholds and the federal forms are set out in our Nevada LLC tax guide.
      Can my Nevada LLC get an EIN if I have no SSN?
      The IRS online tool turns away companies run from abroad, so we send Form SS-4 by fax. It's free at the IRS, needs no ITIN and usually comes back in about four working days.
      Do I need a beneficial ownership report?
      No. Since FinCEN's August 2026 final rule, companies formed in the US are exempt. Nevada keeps no owner register either; the member list stays with our agent.
      Does Nevada require an operating agreement?
      The law makes it optional. Banks and payment firms ask for one anyway, so ours comes with the formation and names you as owner.
      Can a Nevada LLC get a US bank account while I live abroad?
      Yes. US fintech banks take companies owned from abroad and ask for your real business address, not the agent's. Filled in together with us, it almost always goes through.
