BusinessRocket, based in Sherman Oaks, California, has a page and packages for owners outside the US. For a New Mexico LLC with an EIN, it undercuts us by $252, and its agent renewal matches ours at $99. The case for our Non-US Founder Package rests entirely on what we do with the difference. We sell that package, so read this knowing where we stand.
Does BusinessRocket form New Mexico LLCs?
Its site carries a guide for each state. Which states the non-US package itself covers isn't listed, so confirm New Mexico with BusinessRocket when you order.

Where our package differs
We prepare the bank application ourselves
BusinessRocket's concierge helps you apply. We go further in setting up your bank account with our partners: the application is completed by us from your checkout answers, your New Mexico certificate is attached, and it's ready the moment you sign the SS-4. Once you approve, we submit it, and the EIN follows separately. Our partners decide on each application, and we can't promise approval.
One process, designed for owners with no SSN
Your Articles, our agent consent, and your SS-4 all come from one order. You e-sign, it's faxed, and the EIN lands in your dashboard when issued. For non-US residents, BusinessRocket's estimate is 3 to 6 weeks; the IRS generally takes two to eight weeks for faxed applications like ours.
Who should go with BusinessRocket
- Owners after the cheapest route to a New Mexico LLC.
- Anyone who wants rush processing and a free domain thrown in.
- Owners comfortable applying with concierge help to Lili or Relay.
New Mexico upkeep after formation
Whichever company you choose, a New Mexico LLC just needs a registered agent and office on record; no annual or biennial report is due. Neither our package nor BusinessRocket's Essentials files federal returns such as Form 5472, and your activities decide whether gross receipts tax registration is needed.

FAQ
Does BusinessRocket form LLCs in New Mexico?
It publishes state guides for all of them, but its non-US package page doesn't state which states the package covers. Check New Mexico with BusinessRocket before ordering.
How much can I save with BusinessRocket?
$252. Its non-US Essentials is $147 (down from $195), so $197 with New Mexico's $50 fee. Our package with the same fee is $449.
Will the difference change over time?
No. Each company renews its registered agent at $99 a year after a free first year.
Is BusinessRocket's Supreme tier worth it in New Mexico?
Supreme is $254 (list $349) and adds annual report filing at $99 a year afterward. New Mexico LLCs don't file an annual report, so ask BusinessRocket what you'd get for that.
Does BusinessRocket's Chase bonus apply to international owners?
No. BusinessRocket limits that bonus to US residents with an SSN. Its Bank Concierge helps with Lili and Relay instead, without guaranteeing approval.
