FilingOak · LLC Formation by State
Tennessee LLC Formation Service
Tennessee cannot honestly be sold with one government fee for every LLC. The Articles cost $50 per member, with a $300 minimum and a $3,000 maximum under the ordinary rule.
FilingOak's state-side amount starts at $309 for an LLC in the minimum-fee range, making the minimum standard FilingOak order $804. An LLC with more than six members can require a higher state amount, so the order must be calculated from the actual member count rather than forced into $309.
Separate the formation price from what returns later
The $804 order applies only to Tennessee's minimum member-fee band
| Order component | Amount |
|---|---|
| FilingOak LLC Formation service | $495 |
| Tennessee FilingOak state-side amount | $309 |
| Standard FilingOak order | $804 |
Member count controls the Tennessee state bill
One through six members fall under the $300 statutory minimum. Beginning with the seventh member, each additional member adds $50 until the $3,000 maximum. FilingOak's $309 state-side minimum applies only while the LLC remains in that minimum-fee band.
The annual report repeats the same member-count logic
Tennessee's annual report uses the same $50-per-member calculation, with a $300 minimum and $3,000 maximum. It is generally due on the first day of the fourth month after the fiscal year closes. Franchise and excise tax obligations are separate tax matters rather than part of the FilingOak formation price.
Tennessee needs the real member count because it changes the fee
Tennessee's Articles require the registered-agent and company information applicable to the LLC, including the member-count facts that determine the state charge. FilingOak cannot responsibly quote or submit the filing without the real member count.

DIY can save the service fee, but member count still controls the state bill
Tennessee is self-fileable, but the founder still has to calculate the state fee from the real member count and understand the annual report uses the same logic. If that is straightforward for your LLC, DIY can save the $495 service fee.
FilingOak is useful when the administrative formation and included support package are worth handing off; it does not make a seven-member LLC fit into the six-member minimum fee.
