Kentucky Veterans & Active Duty

Veterans file a Kentucky LLC with $0 state fee.

The Benefit

What Kentucky waives for veterans

$40 formation fee → $0

The state's Articles of Organization filing fee is waived for veteran-owned LLCs. You pay only our $99 service fee instead of $139.

Annual report fee → $0 for 4 years

The $15 annual report fee is waived for your first four years, as long as your LLC stays 51%+ veteran/active-duty owned.

Who qualifies

Any LLC at least 51% owned by one or more veterans or active-duty service members, formed after August 1, 2018.

Same fast filing

You get the exact same service — AI-prepared Articles, human review, fast electronic filing with the Secretary of State. Just without the state fee.

How verification works — and what we will not ask for. The Kentucky Secretary of State verifies veteran status, not FlashFile AI. When we file online, we simply certify the business as veteran-owned by checking the state's veteran box — no copies are required online. We do not collect or store your DD-214 or military ID. Because it's a certification to the Commonwealth, only claim it if your LLC genuinely qualifies. Authority: KRS 14A.2-165.

FAQ

Veteran LLC questions

Correct. Under KRS 14A.2-165, Kentucky waives the $40 Articles of Organization filing fee for LLCs at least 51% owned by veterans or active-duty members (formed after Aug 1, 2018), and waives the $15 annual report fee for the first 4 years. You pay only FlashFile AI's $99 service fee — $99 total instead of $139.
The Kentucky Secretary of State handles verification — not us. Filing online, you certify veteran-owned status by checking a box; no copies are required online. We do not collect or store your DD-214 or military ID. Only claim the exemption if your LLC genuinely qualifies, since it's a certification to the state.
Both honorably discharged veterans and active-duty service members count. As long as veterans and/or active-duty members together own at least 51% of the LLC, it qualifies.
No problem — standard Kentucky LLC formation through FlashFile AI is $99 plus the $40 state fee ($139 total), still the cheapest full-service option in Kentucky. See standard pricing →
