What Are the Main Massachusetts LLC Requirements?
Company filing fees and FormLLC services are separate.
Certificate of Organization
The state’s LLC guidance lists a $500 formation filing charge. Prepare the company name, records-office details, business activity and the resident agent’s consent for the requested filing. Professional services have additional requirements.
Annual report on the anniversary
A domestic LLC reports on or before the anniversary of its original Certificate of Organization filing. The published report fee is $500. Use the actual company date rather than a general calendar-year reminder.
Check the submission total
The state fee schedule adds an expedited-service charge to fax and electronic filings. For a $500 subtotal, it lists $20. Confirm the current total for the chosen filing method, including separately engaged services.
