Guys I don't have much knowledge about LLC, how does this work. For instance if you register a company as LLC, do you just pay a one time fee? Or you have to keep paying in a regular basis?

There is a one time fee you pay the state to register your name as an LLC, usually along with a couple other dollars in admin fees. Once it's registered you don't pay anything again for it.

Ok. Stop wasting money. Go to your local NOTARY and have an LLC made for 50 bucks or so and then you mail it off to Secretary of State I think for like a 30 or 40 dollar admission fee. Just go to your notary and ask in case I've made some mistake here, but when I created my last LLC, it was as simple and as cheap as that. The word for today is Notary. Hope that helps.

There most certainly is NOT. Once you get your certificate, you're good to go, and you won't have to pay another cent for the LLC itself.. I live in US, btw. Not sure if you reside in a different country, but in the states, a proprietor of an LLC pays for the registration of their company name once and that's it!
Don't forget to register your EIN online for free at the IRS gov site...http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html

I've been wanting to become an LLC for about the past year now, the only reason I havn't is bc I though it was like 800 or 900 bucks!
I just am not willing to pay that for some paperwork to get filed lol. Thanks alot for that helpful tidbit!

LOL. Forming a company is not a one time issue. You need to file/renew with the state every year or every other year depending on the jurisdiction in the US.
It costs a little less than $1000USD to form an LLC in CA and pay the minimum annual operating fee of $800. You wonder why so many businesses leave the state
