Questions

Before you start.

What's included in the $299?

Filing your Articles of Organization or Incorporation, the state's initial report (like California's Statement of Information), and getting your EIN letter from the IRS. An S corporation election for an LLC is $149; a C corporation election for an LLC, or an S election for a corporation, is $100. State fees are shown upfront and passed through at cost.

How long does it take?

It depends on the state, from same day to several weeks. Rush filing uses the state's expedite service for +$300 plus the state's expedite fee, and is available only in states that offer it (Florida, for example, doesn't). Timing and approval are up to the state: we can't guarantee the state will expedite or approve a filing, and if the state requires corrections, that can add time.

Do you act as my registered agent?

No. An owner with a street address in the state can serve as the agent, or you can hire a registered agent company. We'll point you to reputable providers.

How do you protect my Social Security number?

The IRS requires the responsible party's SSN or ITIN for an EIN. You enter it only inside your secure client portal. It's encrypted before it's stored, only our tax team can view it, every view is logged, and we delete it once your EIN is issued.

How do I pay and follow my formation?

After you enter your details in your client portal, you pay securely online through Clover. Then sign in any time with your email and password to see where things stand, upload what we ask for and download your documents.
