Well, not quite. From the article, 731.71 for the paperwork, but also an annual fee of 853.66. Additionally, a Registered Office is required, which they will provide for 2,500/yr. Rates are tiered based on income, and may be higher based on class of business. 731.71 just gets you in the door.

For what it's worth, this likely was submitted because of the California post that's currently #1 on HN, claiming you can have a California LLC for $70. It also states you'll need "An $800 LLC “tax” paid annually at tax time".

And so does the headline of this submission. :)
