The cost to incorporate in Michigan is $60.00. While online filing is not available, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs does offer annual report filing for corporations, both for-profit and nonprofit alike.

To incorporate in Michigan, your corporation must submit Articles of Incorporation to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, or LARA, as well as maintain corporate bylaws that govern the shareholders and corporate officers. These bylaws should be kept for your own records; they do not need to be submitted to LARA in order to incorporate in Michigan.
