Form your LLC, S-Corp or C-Corp — done right, explained plainly
We handle the filing, the registered agent question, your EIN, and your operating agreement, and walk you through what each choice actually means for your business, so you're not guessing at forms you've never seen before.
At a glance
- Who it's for
- Anyone starting a new business, formalizing an existing one, or adding a second entity for a new venture.
- What it costs
- Our service fee is quoted upfront. State filing fees are separate and shown to you before you file.
- How long it takes
- Filing turnaround depends on the state. Most are processed within days to a few weeks once submitted.
What forming an entity actually involves
An LLC, S-Corp and C-Corp are all ways of formally separating your business from you personally — protecting your personal assets if the business runs into debt or a lawsuit, and giving the business its own legal identity for taxes, contracts and banking.
Which one fits depends on how you're taxed, how many owners are involved, and how you plan to grow. There's no single right answer, it depends on your situation, and we'll walk through it with you before you commit to one.
Once you've picked a structure, the mechanics are the same everywhere: file with the state, get an EIN from the IRS, decide on a registered agent, and put an operating agreement or bylaws in place so ownership and decisions are documented in writing.
State filing fees are not our fee
Every state charges its own fee to file a new LLC or corporation, separate from anything you pay us. We show you that number upfront, broken out from our service fee, so you know exactly what's going to the state and what's going to us.
What we can do, and what we can't
Entity formation touches on legal and tax questions, so it matters to be clear about where our help ends.
What we can do
- Prepare and file your LLC, S-Corp or C-Corp formation paperwork with your state
- Obtain your EIN from the IRS if you need one
- Provide Registered Agent service if you don't have a business address on file
- Draft your Operating Agreement or Bylaws so ownership and roles are documented
- Explain plainly what each entity type means for how you're taxed and run the business
What we can't do
- Tell you which entity type is legally or tax-optimal for your exact situation — that's a question for an attorney or CPA
- Guarantee a specific state filing turnaround — that's controlled by the state, not us
- Provide ongoing legal representation for the business
- File your business taxes as part of this service — that's handled separately under our Tax Filing service
How your formation moves
You'll know which stage you're at throughout. Your representative handles it end to end.
Intake
You tell us your entity type, company name, and owner details through the form below.
Review call
We confirm your details, answer questions, and walk through the fee breakdown before anything is filed.
Filing
We file with the state, obtain your EIN if needed, and set up Registered Agent service if requested.
Documents delivered
You receive your filed paperwork, EIN confirmation, and Operating Agreement or Bylaws if you requested one.
How the fees break down
| Our service fee | Quoted upfront before you file |
| State filing fee | Set by your state, paid directly to them |
| Registered Agent service (if needed) | Quoted separately, optional |
| Operating Agreement / Bylaws drafting (if requested) | Quoted separately, optional |
We never bundle the state's fee into ours without telling you. You'll always see the two numbers separately.
Start your entity formation
Tell us your entity type and company details. Your representative will follow up to confirm everything before we file anything.
- Nothing gets filed with the state until you confirm on the review call
- State filing fees are always shown separately from our service fee
- We never ask for your Social Security or ITIN number through this form
The things people ask first
It depends on how many owners you have, how you want to be taxed, and how you plan to grow. We can explain what each option generally means, but the specific right answer for your situation is a question for an attorney or CPA, and we'll say so plainly rather than guess.
If you don't have a physical business address in the state you're filing in, most states require one. If you already have a registered address, you may not need our Registered Agent service, and we'll only add it if you actually need it.
Not through this form. Once you're a client and we're preparing IRS documents, we'll collect any SSN or ITIN information through a secure channel, not through a public web form.
Our service fee is quoted upfront based on your entity type and state. The state's own filing fee is separate and shown to you before anything is submitted, so there's no bundled or hidden number.
Entity formation and tax filing are separate services. Once your entity is formed, we can talk about setting up Tax Filing support if you want it, there's no obligation to bundle the two.
Get your business formally set up
Nothing gets filed until you've confirmed the details and the fees on a review call.
