FilingOak · LLC Formation by State
Maine LLC Formation Service
Maine's statutory Certificate of Formation fee is $175. FilingOak's state-side amount is $228 for its actual route, which makes the standard FilingOak order $723.
The two figures answer different questions. The $175 figure is Maine's published Certificate fee; $228 is the state-side amount charged through FilingOak. FilingOak does not present the $228 as though Maine had one statutory $228 Certificate fee.
The recurring state cost is clearer: the LLC annual report is $85 and is due June 1 each year after formation.

The $723 order is not Maine's $175 statutory Certificate fee

| FilingOak LLC Formation service | $495 |
| Maine FilingOak state-side amount | $228 |
| Standard FilingOak order | $723 |
The statutory $175 fee and FilingOak's $228 state amount are different facts
A buyer filing directly can evaluate Maine's own fees and available processing options. A buyer using FilingOak sees the $228 state-side amount separately from the $495 service fee, without an invented fee breakdown.
June 1 is the recurring Maine date
Maine's $85 annual report is due June 1 each year beginning after formation. The date is statewide rather than tied to the LLC's exact anniversary day. Maine official filing and fee guidance
Maine's Certificate still needs real agent and management facts
Maine's Certificate of Formation requires the company and registered-agent information called for by the state. FilingOak prepares the filing and internal documents from the founder's supplied management and ownership facts; the state's available expedite options do not change those facts.
Maine's public filing remains visible beyond the filing price
Maine business filings create a public entity record. FilingOak can use Public Record Address Privacy only for eligible fields supported by the actual filing and provider arrangement. It does not conceal a person or address Maine requires.

DIY can save the $495 if Maine's June 1 cycle is easy to own
A founder who is comfortable preparing Maine's Certificate, arranging the registered agent and calendaring June 1 can file directly. Paying FilingOak should be a choice about administrative scope, not a claim that the $175 state form is inaccessible.
FilingOak makes sense when the buyer wants that work plus the rest of the defined package handled together.
