This record explains corrections and clarifications that affect how readers use our costs and guides. Dates below record the editorial change. Each fee entry keeps its own source-check date; these updates do not mean every underlying source was rechecked.
Louisiana filing and annual report fees
Updated the Louisiana entry in the state directory and thecalculator to the fee schedule in effect since October 1, 2026 under Act 921 of the 2026 Regular Session: Articles of Organization now $125 (previously $100) and the LLC Annual Report $35 (previously $30). The earlier entry showed the pre-October figures with a note about the coming change; the figures themselves are now the new amounts. Source: Louisiana Secretary of State.
State costs and deadlines
Clarified Delaware's annual tax timing,California's initial statement and annual tax timing, and Wyoming's anniversary-month deadline. Removed wording that incorrectly excluded California's income-threshold boundary. California's filing and statement fees have direct support from the Secretary of State. Base fee amounts did not change in this update.
New York publication costs
Added the Certificate of Publication filing fee to the standardNew York estimate. Variable newspaper charges remain excluded rather than treated as free. The qualification explains that publication requirements have a limited theatrical-production-company exemption. Source: New York Department of State.
Funding and account eligibility
Replaced simplified Philippines funding guidance with the BSP's application and documentation requirements. TheTurkey guide now distinguishes Wise's checks of personal and business account addresses. The India guide identifies Stripe's published Preview status and invites readers to check onboarding before forming. None of these changes establishes account approval or permission for a particular investment.
Country-specific tax and company questions
The United Kingdom guide now qualifies HMRC's general LLC classification with its case-specific guidance. TheCanada guide replaces a blanket recommendation against LLCs with classification and reporting questions, including CRA reporting exclusions. The Germany guide clarifies that it concerns a US LLC for German residents and does not establish that company's German tax treatment.
Formation services and registered agents
Removed blanket claims about formation eligibility and compulsory paid registered-agent services. The registered-agent guidenow distinguishes maintaining an eligible agent from buying a commercial service. The service buying guideseparates filing assistance, renewals, refunds and document access without promising a provider's terms. Eligibility examples use Delaware, California and Wyoming official guidance; they are not a rule for every state or applicant.
Estimate labels and source dates
Clarified that registered-agent ranges are budgeting assumptions, not provider quotes. The most recent fee-check date is the latest individual ledger date, not a claim that every entry was checked together. The methodologyand About page distinguish verified, sourced and pending entries and explain how affiliate commissions support the publication.
