How much does it cost to register an LLC in Indiana?

Filing Articles of Organization for an Indiana LLC online through INBiz — the state's own portal — runs about a hundred dollars. That's the state's fee, one time. Anyone charging you several hundred for "LLC formation" is charging you for filling in a form; the form is genuinely fillable by a person with a coffee and twenty minutes.

What the fee gets you: your business name on the Indiana Secretary of State's record — a real, registered company. What it doesn't get you: an EIN (that's free, from the IRS, separately), a bank account, a website, or customers. The state also expects a short business-entity report on a multi-year cycle after you're formed — small fee, easy to forget, worth a calendar reminder the day you file.

In a barn raising, the LLC is the papers gate: we pay the state's fee straight to the state, prepare every field, and you sign. It lands at exactly the barn's halfway point — so half a barn in, you already own a registered Indiana business.

Builders, not lawyers. This is the plain shape of it, not advice for your case.
