Mississippi. It all started at the crossroads.

The character of the state

At a dusty crossroads near Clarksdale, so the story goes, Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at midnight in exchange for the guitar that invented the blues. Whether the story is true hardly matters: the Mississippi Delta gave the world the music that everything else grew out of, rock, soul, pop, and in a two-room house in Tupelo, Elvis Presley was born in 1935. Meanwhile, in Oxford, William Faulkner wrote the South into world literature. No state has given more to culture and made less fuss about it.

The administration plays the same modest twelve-bar tune as the state itself: unhurried and easy-going. Only the register is open: your name appears in it.

Who Mississippi makes sense for

For anyone with a connection to the Deep South or a love for the birthplace of the blues, with no need for anonymity. For discretion: Wyoming or New Mexico.

Do you really need a Mississippi LLC?

The honest question before you order: if what draws you to Mississippi is mainly the look of it, you don't need a Mississippi LLC for that. Your business address is yours to choose, in any state, for any LLC. A Jackson address is available from any of the many virtual business address providers for around $20 to $150 a month; you book it yourself, directly with the provider, and it is not part of our package. Pair it with a Wyoming LLC and you get the same presence, plus anonymity in the register and the strongest statutory asset protection in the US.

There are two things an address cannot replace, though, and they belong to the full picture. First: your contracts and invoices show the company's state of formation. If they need to say "Mississippi" in so many words, you really do need the Mississippi LLC. Second: an address is appearance, not substance. If you actually keep premises, staff or ongoing business operations in Mississippi, you create a real point of connection there, with reporting and tax consequences, regardless of where the LLC was formed. Situations like that belong in a consultation (held in English only) before you order.

And if your reason for Mississippi is a personal or business connection: good choice. That is exactly what this page is for.

Formation and taxes

Formed online, a Mississippi LLC is ready in around 1 to 3 days. Structured correctly, your Mississippi LLC pays no income tax in the US. Whether and to what extent the profits are taxed in your country of residence is a question for your tax adviser or for a consultation, held in English.

Transparency in the register

Mississippi's register names the people behind your LLC. For discretion, look at Wyoming or New Mexico, for example. More under anonymity.
