What you pay, and when
| To form it | $110.00, once. |
| Annual report | Not required. The Secretary of State does not make an LLC file an annual report — there is no such form for one. What you file depends on how you are taxed instead: an LLC that elects to be taxed as a corporation has to send the Department of Revenue a CL-1 within 60 days of starting business in the state. An LLC taxed as a partnership or ignored for tax purposes does not. |
| Registered agent | Required. You can be your own if you have a street address in South Carolina and do not mind it being public. |
Do it yourself
