How payment works
Confirm your package, sign the engagement documents, and pay 100% upfront. Maryland Articles filing is currently $100 plus $50 for expedited service — included in the Starter package. The ordinary Maryland annual report fee is $300, billed with annual compliance. Government fees and rules can change; we verify before filing.
Services
What you are actually buying.
Formation, EIN, Resident Agent, compliance, and optional presence tools — grouped the way the work is sold.
LLC Formation
Core
Foreign-owned Maryland LLC
A Maryland domestic LLC filed for a non-U.S. owner. We do not advertise this as a “foreign LLC” — that phrase means something else in U.S. law.
Name check against Maryland records
Articles of Organization
Expedited state filing included in Starter
Principal office at a real Maryland street address
Operating agreement template
Digital company kit on approval
EIN
Core
EIN for owners without an SSN
We prepare Form SS-4, collect authorization, and submit using the appropriate IRS method for a foreign responsible party. Timing is the IRS’s — we do not promise a 7-day EIN.
SS-4 prepared from your details
Client authorization and signature
Submission tracked and documented
EIN letter delivered with your kit
Business Presence
Core
Maryland Resident Agent
First year included with formation. Resident Agent, principal office, and mail service are separate concepts — we do not casually use one address for every purpose.
Statutory service of process
Year-one included in Starter
Renewal billed before anniversary
Maryland street address — not a P.O. Box
Add-on
Digital mail and U.S. phone
Optional presence tools after CMRA and identity requirements are met. Not a generic virtual office.
Mail notification and scanning where available
Physical forwarding at postage plus handling
U.S. business number / forwarding where supported
USPS Form 1583 identity checks when required
Compliance
Recurring
Annual compliance
Stay on top of Maryland annual filings, Resident Agent renewal, and reminders so required dates are not a WhatsApp surprise.
Annual-report preparation
Resident Agent renewal
Filing calendar and monitoring
Government fees disclosed separately
Referred
Federal information-return coordination
A foreign-owned U.S. single-member LLC can have Form 5472 and pro-forma Form 1120 reporting. We coordinate with a qualified tax professional. We do not prepare federal returns in-house.
Qualified CPA, EA, or PTIN preparer
Written scope before work begins
Deadline follow-up as standard
Administrative support, not tax advice
After formation
Ongoing services
Recurring items renew unless you cancel in writing before the anniversary.
Keep the company active and reporting current. Select any service to discuss — selection does not create a charge.
Annual Compliance Plan
$299 / year + state fees
Resident Agent renewal, Maryland annual-report preparation, reminders, and compliance monitoring.
Resident Agent renewal
$149 / year
Required to keep the Maryland company in good standing after year one.
Maryland annual report preparation
$129 + $300 state fee
We prepare and file; the state fee is a pass-through.
Federal tax compliance
From $399 / year
Foreign-owned LLC information-return coordination through a qualified U.S. tax professional. Typical range $349–$499 depending on scope.
