What Kansas itself charges
We total the state side as filing plus two later reports plus any minimum tax; anything with no fixed price is described but not counted.
Why the Kansas rows sit where they do
At 28%, jobs ticked off is the column that decided the first row.
A foreign LLC already spans two states, so one provider for both ranked first.
Kansas foreign LLC registration fee and rules (official)
An LLC formed in another state registers with Kansas before doing business there, by filing the Application for Registration, Foreign (non-Kansas) Business (Form FA) with the Kansas Secretary of State, Business Services Division ($115).
Without registration, expect its access to the courts as a plaintiff is suspended (K.S.A. 17-76,126(a)).
