Cost guide for Pakistan-based founders
US LLC Formation Cost from Pakistan
Understand the difference between the Free Unicorn service fee, state filing charge, registered-agent renewal, optional services and future compliance costs before registering a US LLC.
Decision guide
The package price is not the entire lifetime cost
Plan a US LLC budget as the service fee plus the chosen state’s formation charge, then add any optional services and recurring duties. Free Unicorn advertises $249, $349 and $499 service packages plus the applicable state filing fee. Obtain the current official state charge and a dated written quote before paying. The cheapest initial filing does not necessarily produce the lowest ongoing cost for your business.
- Compare the advertised service package scope
- Confirm the current official state filing charge
- Request registered-agent renewal pricing
- Budget recurring tax, reporting and optional support
