A Utah LLC costs $59 in state fees to form and $18 every year to renew. A business corporation costs the same $59 and $18, plus at least the $100 minimum corporate tax. Add your package (Starter $149, Pro $299 or Complete $419) and a $199 agent unless Complete includes it. A Starter LLC with our agent is $407 in year one.

Utah's articles of incorporation fee is a flat $59 with no share-based scale, so a corporation's filing cost matches an LLC's. The difference is the corporate franchise or income tax: 4.45 percent of Utah taxable income with a $100 minimum.
| Package | Corporation state fee | With our agent | Minimum corporate tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $59 | $407 | $100 |
| Pro | $59 | $557 | $100 |

What each later year costs
Every Utah entity renews by the last day of its anniversary month for $18. Keep our agent ($199) and let us file the renewal ($129 plus $18), and a typical company spends $346 a year with us. File it yourself and act as your own agent, and the state's share is only $18.
