Start your Kansas LLC, usually filed within 1 business hour

How it works

Forming an LLC in Kansas with HourLLC

1. Pick a name. Your Kansas LLC name must include an LLC designator such as "LLC" or "Limited Liability Company" and must not already be taken. We check availability before filing; give us a backup name on the form in case your first choice is taken.
2. Fill out a 3 minute form. Members, a Kansas registered agent, and your business address. Kansas filings are public records, so a business address rather than a home address is a common choice.
3. Review and pay. One total: $99 plus Kansas's state fee at cost. No upsells.
4. We usually file within 1 business hour. We prepare and submit your Articles of Organization to the Kansas Secretary of State. When Kansas approves it, we email your filing receipt and stamped Articles of Organization as PDFs and keep them in Documents at My account. Then we get your EIN.

After your Kansas LLC is approved

Kansas LLCs file a Business Entity Information Report with the Secretary of State every two years.

Your EIN is included: we apply to the IRS for it together with your state filing, so you can open a business bank account and file taxes under the LLC.

Almost every state requires a registered agent with a street address in the state who accepts official mail and legal papers during business hours. You can be your own registered agent if you have a Kansas address, or use a commercial registered agent.

What every HourLLC order includes

• Name availability check before filing
• Articles of Organization usually filed with the state within 1 business hour
• EIN from the IRS (federal tax ID)
• Free operating agreement
• Filing receipt and stamped, approved Articles of Organization, emailed as PDFs
• Annual report reminders, free with every LLC

Choosing a Kansas LLC formation service

Compare the all-in price, not the starting price. Ask each service: is the EIN included, is an operating agreement included, when exactly do you file, and what renews every year? With HourLLC the answer is one price ($99 plus Kansas's fee at cost), EIN and operating agreement included, usually filed within 1 business hour, and no yearly fee for the LLC itself. See a side by side comparison.

Kansas LLC name rules

A Kansas LLC name must include “limited liability company”, “limited company”, “L.L.C.”, “L.C.”, “LLC” or “LC”. It also has to be different from names already on file with the state.

Kansas resident agent

Every Kansas LLC must keep a resident agent in Kansas. The agent can be the LLC itself, a Kansas resident, or a business entity (Kansas or foreign) in good standing.

On our order form you name your resident agent and their Kansas street address. It can be you, if you have a street address in Kansas, or a commercial resident agent service.

Getting an EIN for your Kansas LLC

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your LLC's federal tax ID. It comes from the IRS, not from Kansas, and the IRS does not charge for it. You need it to open a business bank account, hire employees and file business taxes. Every HourLLC order includes it: we prepare and submit the EIN application together with your state filing and send you the IRS confirmation letter.

If your LLC will sell taxable goods or services or hire employees, you may also need to register for Kansas state tax accounts. That is a separate step with the state.

Kansas LLC cost breakdown

Add our $99 service fee once, at formation. There is no yearly HourLLC fee for the LLC itself.

Checked on official Kansas sources on November 5, 2026: name rules, registered agent, annual report. Rules and fees can change; we confirm them before we file.
