Who needs articles of organization (LLC), the initial list of managers and the state business license in Nevada?

Issued by Nevada Secretary of State, at step 1 of 6 in the opening sequence: set up the business.

Every kind of business in Nevada

The Nevada table lists this for every kind of business.

File online through SilverFlume. The articles name a registered agent with a Nevada street address. The state business license is Nevada’s general business license and applies to sole proprietors too ($200 a year, filed with the Secretary of State); a corporation pays $500. Nevada has no state income tax and no franchise tax on an LLC; the Commerce Tax only starts above $4 million of Nevada gross revenue.
