How much does it cost to form an LLC in North Carolina?
The state filing fee for a North Carolina LLC varies. On top of the state fee, Corp Nation charges $149 flat — registered agent included for year one. See the complete cost breakdown on our North Carolina LLC page.
Are there ongoing costs for a North Carolina LLC?
Yes — annual report fees (most states), registered agent fees ($0 if you’re your own, $99–$299/year for a service), and any state franchise or minimum taxes.
Is a North Carolina LLC worth the cost?
For any business generating real revenue, yes. The liability protection alone justifies the cost. One lawsuit without an LLC could cost far more than the formation fee.
