Form an LLC in Alabama
Alabama requires a name reservation before you file the Certificate of Formation, so budget for both fees. There is no annual report with the Secretary of State; the yearly obligation is the business privilege tax with the Department of Revenue, which small LLCs often do not owe. Fee note: the official form lists $200, while the Alabama.gov portal charges $208 online; processing time is not published.
