The $299 LLC for an AI agent — what you actually get
Giving an autonomous agent a legal home used to be a four-figure decision. Here's exactly what the $299 Wyoming Agent Company includes, what it doesn't, and how it compares to the cheap alternatives.
What's included
- Standalone Wyoming LLC — Articles of Organization filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Not a series, not a cell: a company with its own name and legal existence.
- EIN — the federal tax ID you need for US banking and processors. Non-US owners supported (Form SS-4 route).
- Registered agent, year 1 — the required Wyoming presence, included.
- The Agent Charter — Operating Agreement with agent-delegation clauses, the Agent Mandate & Authority Charter (powers, spending/risk limits, kill-switch), an Authority Resolution & Power of Attorney counterparties can rely on, a Wallet Authority Schedule binding on-chain wallets to the entity, and a US tax & compliance memo.
- Machine-readable mandate (JSON) — your agent loads it at runtime and enforces its own legal limits, with a live status endpoint it polls (fail-closed).
Why $299 is possible (and what the $99 offers hide)
You may have seen $99 "instant LLCs." Those are series cells — compartments inside someone else's master LLC. They're real enough for many uses, but they carry tradeoffs an agent feels quickly: banks often won't open accounts for a cell, the name reads like a subdivision (Master LLC – YourCo – Series 5), and your company's existence depends on someone else's master staying healthy. A standalone LLC can't be cheaper than the state itself — Wyoming charges $100 to file — so honest standalone pricing starts north of that. $299 covers the filing, the EIN, the agent, and the governance layer.

Why Wyoming
Three reasons it fits agents specifically: charging-order protection that extends to single-member LLCs (W.S. 17-29-503 — rare, and most agent companies have one owner), no state income tax, and owners stay off the public record (the Articles list the registered agent and addresses — not members).

How the agent forms it (MCP)
The whole flow is agent-native via the OffshoreProz MCP server:
- Agent gets a key (
POST /register, instant) and callscreate_standalone_companywith the company name, the human owner(s), and its own spec (powers, wallets, limits). - It gets back two payment options: a card checkout link to relay to its owner, or an exact USDC amount it can send itself.
- On payment, the state filing and EIN run; the agent polls
get_formation_statusand receives the document pack when formed.
What $299 is not
It's not the maximum-protection structure. If your agent custodies a serious treasury, the Nevis Agent Company (6,500 USDC) makes a creditor sue in Nevis, post a bond, and prove fraud beyond reasonable doubt. The common path is Wyoming first, Nevis on top later — the diagnostic tells you which you need today.
FAQ
Is this a subscription?
No — $299 forms the company. Year 2 onward you keep the registered agent and file the Wyoming annual report ($60 state minimum); we track the dates for you.
Do non-US owners qualify?
Yes — that's the typical customer. The EIN runs on the SS-4 "foreign responsible party" route, and the tax memo covers the Form 5472 obligation that foreign-owned single-member LLCs have.
Does the agent own itself?
No. A human owns the LLC; the LLC owns the agent; the agent is an authorized delegate under the Agent Mandate. No jurisdiction grants AI legal personhood — anyone claiming otherwise is selling something.
