New Hampshire. Live Free or Die.

The character of the state

"Live Free or Die." Four words, coined by the Revolutionary general John Stark, the official state motto since 1945, on every licence plate: no state on earth commits to freedom more officially than New Hampshire. And it means it: no sales tax, no tax on wages; the Granite State pays its way without reaching into its citizens' pay packets. No wonder freedom lovers from across the country move here on purpose to strengthen the experiment.

For your LLC, that means America's most freedom-loving motto as your sender, vetted by people made of granite. The register is open: your name appears in it.

Who New Hampshire makes sense for

For anyone who wants America's most freedom-loving motto on the letterhead of their company and can do without anonymity in the register. For discretion: Wyoming, the live-free state of the West.

Do you really need a New Hampshire LLC?

The honest counter-question before you order: if what draws you to New Hampshire is mainly the look, you do not need a New Hampshire LLC for it. Your business address is yours to choose, in any state, for any LLC. You can get a Manchester address from one of the many virtual business address providers for around $20 to $150 a month; you book that yourself, directly with the provider, and it is not part of our package. Combined with a Wyoming LLC 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 state the company's state of formation. If you need "New Hampshire" to appear there explicitly, you really do need the New Hampshire LLC. Second: an address is appearance, not substance. If you actually keep premises, staff or ongoing business operations in New Hampshire, you create a real connection there with reporting and tax consequences, regardless of where the LLC was formed. Set-ups like that belong in a consultation (held in English only) beforehand.

And if your reason for New Hampshire is a personal or business tie: good choice. That is exactly what this page is for.

No hidden fees, no surprise bills for extra work

Our flat fee covers every service you need to form your New Hampshire LLC and run it for the first 12 months. You will find a detailed description of the services here. Bought one by one, these services cost over $6,500. With us: one flat fee, $2,602, done.

Formation and taxes

Formation takes about 3 to 7 days. Set up correctly, the New Hampshire zero-tax LLC pays no income tax in the United States. Whether, and to what extent, the profits are taxable in your country of residence is a question for your tax adviser or for a consultation, held in English.

Transparency in the register

New Hampshire's register names the people responsible for your LLC. For discretion, look for example to Wyoming or New Mexico. More under anonymity.
