Then pick your package: Economy ($99) for DIY founders who want the essentials, or Complete ($299) for busy entrepreneurs who want everything handled.

What you’ll decide:

  • Entity type (LLC, C-Corp, or S-Corp)
  • State of formation

Common Questions About Our Process

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What information do I need to get started?

Just the basics: your name, address, business name, and business address. For LLCs, you’ll also need to know who the members/owners will be. The whole form takes about 10 minutes.

Can I make changes after I submit?

Yes! Before we file with the state, you can make changes at no cost. After filing, amendments are possible but involve additional state fees. Our team will guide you through either scenario.

What if my business name isn’t available?

We check name availability before filing. If your first choice isn’t available, we’ll notify you immediately so you can choose an alternative — before any state fees are charged.

Do I need to be a US citizen?

No! Non-US residents can form LLCs and Corporations in most states. You will need a US mailing address (our Registered Agent service can help with that).

How do I track my order?

Log into your dashboard anytime to see real-time status. You’ll also receive email updates at every milestone — from filing to approval to EIN issuance.

What if I have questions during the process?

Our US-based support team is available by phone, email, and chat. Most questions are answered within hours — and we speak plain English, not legal jargon.
