We went through Harbor Compliance’s online LLC order form on October 13, 2026, for a test LLC in Wyoming, using made-up details, and stopped at the order summary without paying. The form asks a few questions and then offers one service per screen. Three of those services come already selected; the steps below show which.
The order form, screen by screen
Name your LLC
Fill inType the name you want. Harbor checks that it is available in the state before filing; you can change it later. In Wyoming the name must include “LLC” or another allowed ending.
Pick the state
Fill inHarbor’s own hint is the right one: most people should form in the state where they live and do business. Forming elsewhere usually means registering in your home state too.
Employees in the first year
Fill inThis only tailors the recommendations that follow. Count full-time employees, not contractors.
Formation service and state filing fee
Keep$99 + $103.75This is the formation itself: Harbor’s $99 service fee plus the state filing fee. Wyoming’s fee is $100; Harbor showed $103.75 for it, so expect a few dollars more than the state’s own price.
Registered agent
Keep$99 first year, then $159Every LLC needs a registered agent in its state. Harbor states both prices up front: $99 for the first year, then $159 a year. Choose your own agent only if you have a physical address in Wyoming.
Managed annual report service
You can skip itPre-selected · $175 a yearWyoming’s annual report is short and you can file it yourself online; the state’s own minimum is $60 a year. Harbor’s service files it for you for $175 a year on top of that. Choose “I’ll pass for now” unless you want them to handle it.
EIN
You can skip itPre-selected · $99The IRS issues an EIN for free, and online you get it as soon as the application is approved: see how to get an EIN. Harbor charges $99 to file it for you, and $150 more if you have no Social Security number or taxpayer ID. Choose “I’ll handle this on my own” to remove it.
S-Corp or C-Corp tax election
Your call$99 if you choose itNot pre-selected: the default keeps your LLC’s normal tax treatment, at no cost. An S-Corp election is a tax decision worth discussing with an accountant first.
Operating agreement
You can skip itPre-selected · $99Wyoming doesn’t require a written operating agreement, and you can write your own from a template. Harbor’s version is a customized document you then fine-tune and sign. Choose “I’ll pass for now” if you don’t need it.
Order summary
Fill in$301.75 todayWith the three extras unselected, the order was the formation service and the registered agent ($198) plus the filing fee ($103.75): $301.75. Leaving them selected would have added $373 to the first payment. The next screen asks for your contact details and then payment; we stopped here.
After the first year
The registered agent renews at $159 a year, and Wyoming charges its own annual report license tax (from $60). Neither changes with the extras above, except the managed annual report service if you kept it. The table at the top of this page shows all three years.
