S 236 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to LLC filing fees

This bill modifies the fees that limited liability companies (LLCs) in Massachusetts must pay to the state secretary. It sets a standard filing fee of $500 for both the initial certificate of organization and the annual report for most LLCs. However, it creates a reduced fee of $250 for smaller businesses, specifically those with six or fewer employees, when they file these documents. The change directly affects LLC owners and operators by lowering the cost of compliance for small businesses while maintaining higher fees for larger entities.
