StartGlobal Alternative for a Foreign-Owned New Mexico LLC

Short answer: StartGlobal is $50 cheaper for a New Mexico LLC because its $399 includes the state fee. Ours puts that $50 on top and, in exchange, prepares your bank application for our partners so it's ready the day you sign your EIN form. Agent renewals match at $99. StartGlobal is also the one to pick if you want to buy tax or bookkeeping services later. We sell the package we're comparing, so account for that.

What StartGlobal does well

• Fees folded in: the $399 covers state and government charges in every state.
• The same $99 agent renewal as ours.

• An EIN route that doesn't need an SSN.

The math for a New Mexico LLC

• StartGlobal, year one: $399, state fee included.
• Our package, year one: $399 + $50 = $449.
• Each later year: $99 for the agent with either.
• Three-year total: $597 against $647.
• Annual report add-on: StartGlobal's $299 service has nothing to file for a New Mexico LLC.

How our package works

1. Submit a single order with your company and owner details.
2. We file your Articles of Organization with New Mexico online.
3. Your certificate is added to your dashboard.
4. You sign the SS-4 we've prepared for a foreign owner with no SSN.
5. Your bank application for our partners is ready as soon as that signature is in, pre-filled and with your documents attached. You approve and we send, independent of the IRS clock. Our partners decide, so approval can't be guaranteed.
6. We fax the SS-4; the IRS normally responds with your EIN in two to eight weeks.

Choose StartGlobal if

• The lowest total cost for New Mexico is what you care about.
• You expect to buy tax filing or bookkeeping from your formation provider.
• You might want a Managed LLC plan later.

Choose our package if

• You want the bank application written for you, not guided.
• You prefer a provider that sells no add-ons beyond the agent renewal.

After formation in New Mexico

Your LLC's only recurring state duty is keeping a registered agent and office on record, with no annual report to file. Taxes are separate: Form 5472 is a yearly requirement for a lot of single-member LLCs with foreign owners, and depending on your business you may need to register for gross receipts tax. We don't prepare either.

Common questions

Which is cheaper for a New Mexico LLC?

StartGlobal, by $50. Its $399 already includes state fees. Ours is $399 plus New Mexico's $50, or $449.

Does StartGlobal offer New Mexico?

Yes. StartGlobal forms LLCs in all 50 states.

Do the renewals differ?

The registered agent is $99 a year with either company. StartGlobal also sells annual report filing at $299 a year, which a New Mexico LLC doesn't need because the state has no annual report.

What does StartGlobal say about the EIN timeline?

Its site doesn't give one. For our faxed SS-4 filings, the IRS usually takes two to eight weeks and won't expedite.

What does your package do that StartGlobal's doesn't?

We fill in your bank application for our partners ourselves and attach your certificate; it's complete the minute the SS-4 is signed. Nothing is sent until you approve. Our partners decide on approval.
