Georgia vs Wyoming LLC

Georgia (specifically Atlanta) is a US startup hub. But for non-resident LLC formation, Wyoming still wins on cost, complexity, and privacy. Here is the comparison.

Answer

Wyoming wins. Georgia has 5.39% state income tax (if Georgia nexus exists). Annual report ~$50-$100. Privacy lower than Wyoming. For non-residents without Georgia operations, no advantage to Georgia over Wyoming.

Georgia cost and tax

State income tax: 5.39% flat (reduced from 5.75% in 2024). Annual report: ~$50. Registered agent: ~$100/year. Total year 2+ for non-resident: ~$150 if no Georgia nexus.

When Georgia might make sense

Atlanta-based startups, founders relocating to Atlanta, or those with Georgia-specific business connections (clients, partners, real estate) might benefit. Non-resident founders without these connections gain nothing from Georgia.
