A commercial agent costs $49 to $249 a year among the services here.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Do you file an operating agreement with the State of Michigan?<\/h3>\n    <p><strong>No, you don't file an operating agreement with the State of Michigan; you keep it with your LLC's records.<\/strong> Michigan doesn't require one, but banks often ask for it, and it sets out who owns and runs the LLC.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>What's the cheapest way to form an LLC in Michigan?<\/h3>\n    <p><strong>The cheapest way to form an LLC in Michigan is to file the Articles yourself through LARA for $50, be your own resident agent and get the EIN free from the IRS.<\/strong> With a service, Michigan LLC Service costs the least in year one ($129) and Michigan Registered Agent over five years ($545).<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>What happens if you miss the Michigan annual statement?<\/h3>\n    <p><strong>If you miss the Michigan annual statement, there's no late fee for a regular LLC, but after two missed years LARA can end its good standing.<\/strong> The LLC's name then becomes available to others, and restoring good standing costs $50 plus $25 for each missing year.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Can you switch Michigan LLC formation services after your LLC is formed?<\/h3>\n    <p><strong>Yes, you can switch after formation by appointing a new resident agent, which costs $5 with LARA on form CSCL\/CD-520.<\/strong> Cancel the old agent's renewal so you aren't billed twice.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Do you need an EIN for a Michigan LLC?<\/h3>\n    <p><strong>Yes, you need an EIN for a Michigan LLC if it has employees or more than one member, and most banks ask for one to open a business account.<\/strong> The IRS sets these rules, not Michigan, and the EIN is free from the IRS.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Does a Michigan LLC have to file a BOI report?<\/h3>\n    <p><strong>No, a Michigan LLC doesn't file a beneficial ownership (BOI) report with FinCEN, because US-formed companies are exempt under
