You don't necessarily need to live in Mississippi to do business there, but you do need a Mississippi registered agent. Your registered agent must have a physical address in Mississippi (not a P.O. box) where they can be reached during business hours.

A company formed in Mississippi is considered ?domestic.? Mississippi encourages foreign companies to do business in Mississippi. If your out-of-state company will be conducting business in Mississippi, you are likely required to register with the Secretary of State.

Mississippi doesn't have a general business license for LLCs, so there are no fees there. If your business has to get an occupational license or municipal (city or county) permit, the fees are hard to predict. Depending on your LLC's location, and what type of business or industry you're in, the fee varies.
