To form an LLC in Oregon, you will need to consider several costs. As of my last update, here are the primary expenses involved in forming an LLC in Oregon:
1. **Articles of Organization Filing Fee**: The fee for filing the Articles of Organization with the Oregon Secretary of State is typically around $100 if filed online or by mail.
2. **Initial Report**: Oregon does not require an initial report for LLCs.
3. **Operating Agreement**: While not a filing requirement, it is advisable to draft an Operating Agreement to outline the management structure and operating procedures of your LLC. You might incur legal fees if you choose to hire an attorney to help with this.
4. **Business License**: Depending on the type of business and location, you may need to obtain a local business license, which can vary in cost.
5. **EIN (Employer Identification Number)**: If you need an EIN for your LLC (required if you have employees or for certain tax purposes), you can obtain one for free from the IRS.
6. **Ongoing Fees**: After formation, Oregon LLCs are required to file an annual report and pay an annual fee of $100.
So, the initial cost to set up an LLC in Oregon primarily includes the Articles of Organization fee of about $100. Additional costs may apply based on specific business requirements and services you may choose to utilize. Always check the Oregon Secretary of State's website or consult a professional for the most current information and detailed guidance.
