Starting an LLC will run you a few fees, so it’s important to take note of the most common ones.

Nevada Certificate of Good Standing

In order to verify that your Nevada LLC is legally formed and properly maintained, you’re going to need a Certificate of Good Standing. This will cost you $50, which is not much considering the benefits of getting one: 

• It allows you to do business in another state
• It helps form relationships with investors and financial institutions
• It helps you get a business bank account
• It makes it easier to get licenses and permits
• And more

Make the small investment and get a CGS so running your Nevada LLC can be easier. 

Get a “DBA” Name in Nevada

You should also consider getting a “doing business as” (DBA) name for your Nevada LLC. This is useful if you plan to do business under a name different from your legal one. In Nevada, a DBA is known as a “fictitious firm name.” You’ll have to file one with your county. 

Register a Foreign LLC

If you’re an out-of-state (foreign) LLC and want to do business in Nevada, then you’ll need to register as a foreign LLC. You can do so on the Secretary of State’s website for $75. 

Know Which Business Licenses and Permits You’ll Need

As a business owner, you’ll need to be mindful of the many licenses and permits you might need to fill out and apply for. Which ones and how many you’ll have to take care of depends on your location and industry. Be sure to do some research and make a list of which ones you’ll need. 

Nevada requires that certain fees be paid on time, such as your annual report. In this state, the annual report is due at the end of the LLC’s anniversary month each year. If late, you’ll have to pay a $100 fee and lose your “good standing” status. After a year of being in poor standing, your LLC will be at risk of being dissolved by the state. 

Make sure you pay your fees on time. 

If you can’t pay the necessary fees when filing your Nevada LLC, then your application will be denied. 

All filing fees and most related costs will be made to the Secretary of State’s office. 

Since different LLCs have different registration requirements, overall costs might vary. For the most part, a business license fee will be the biggest fee at $200. Other costs that you might run into later on like a merger or termination will cost $350 each. 

You can conveniently pay for any filing fees by:

• Check or money order
• Credit card (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express)
• Trust account

There are many business entities out there, but LLCs are very popular due to the many benefits they offer. Some of these include:

• Liability protection 
• Flexible tax requirements 
• A relatively easy startup process compared to other business entities
