State fees over three years$150Sum of the inputs above
We total only the amounts the state fixes: filing, reports in years two and three, and a minimum tax if there is one. Unpriced costs are described instead.

Why result one is first

Filing work in the price put Mainstay Filing first. That term is 27% of the formula, and calculated three-year cost, renewal change, break-even year and input clarity make up the remainder.

The home state counts as well; a single account for both scored highest.

How Arizona describes the foreign LLC registration fee and rules

Out-of-state LLCs deliver the Foreign Registration Statement (Form L025) to the Arizona Corporation Commission, Corporations Division with $150. It also takes certificate of existence or good standing, plus a certified copy of the organizational documents no older than 60 days.

An unregistered LLC can face a lack of standing to sue in Arizona (A.R.S. 29-3902(B)).

State fees only

$150 is the lowest this calculation goes, because it holds only state fees. The services above put $397 to $497 on top.
