Registered agent
Every Illinois LLC has to name one. It can be you at no cost if you have a street address in the state. Ours is $99 a year and optional, with no first year that quietly becomes a renewal.
Trade name, if you use one
$150 to the state, plus our $50. Illinois prorates the assumed name fee inside a 5 year cycle, so the exact state fee depends on the year you file. We confirm it before filing.

Late consequences are set by Illinois and range from a penalty to administrative dissolution, which means the state stops recognising your company until you fix it. The cost of being late is always higher than the cost of the report, and reinstatement is a separate filing with its own fee. We do not publish a penalty figure for every state because those change without notice; the Illinois Secretary of State publishes the current one.
The report is about the company existing, not about what it earned. A dormant LLC with no revenue owes the same report as a busy one for as long as it is registered. If you are done with the company, dissolving it is what stops the obligation.
