1Indiana LLC Formation

To form an LLC in Indiana, you'll need to file Articles of Organization with the Indiana Secretary of State.

Formation Details

  • Due Date: Anniversary month of LLC formation (biennial)
  • Frequency: Every 2 years

3Registered Agent Requirements

Indiana requires all LLCs to maintain a registered agent.

Can You Be Your Own Registered Agent?

Yes, you can serve as your own registered agent in Indiana.

Requirements: Must be an individual with a physical Indiana street address (no PO Box) or an entity authorized to do business in Indiana; available during business hours. Under IC 23-0.5-4-3, the binding requirement is a physical Indiana street address rather than residency.

4Foreign LLC Registration

If your LLC was formed in another state but you want to do business in Indiana, you'll need to register as a foreign LLC.

Foreign LLC Registration

  • Registration Fee: $105
  • Requirements: File the Foreign Registration Statement (State Form 56369) via INBiz for $105 online ($125 by mail), with a Certificate of Existence from the home state dated within 60 days, and designate an Indiana registered agent.

5Indiana LLC Taxes

Members of pass-through LLCs pay Indiana's flat individual adjusted gross income tax, which is 2.95% for 2026 (dropping to 2.90% in 2027). The 4.9% corporate income tax rate applies only if the LLC elects C-corp taxation.

6Penalties for Non-Compliance

Late Filing Penalties

No late fee, but LLC status becomes 'Delinquent' after 60 days past due

Administrative Dissolution Risk

Administrative dissolution may occur if biennial report is not filed.

Key Considerations for Indiana LLCs

  • One of the lowest formation fees in the country
  • Biennial (every 2 years) reporting reduces compliance burden
  • Very low biennial report fee of only $32
  • Fast processing times for online filings
