LLC Formation

Everything you need to launch, in one package.

Registered Agent

Every US LLC is legally required to have a registered agent: the official point of contact that receives legal documents, lawsuits, and state notices on your behalf. We act as your registered agent in your formation state and forward anything that arrives straight to you.

  • Required to form and keep your LLC in good standing
  • Receives legal documents and state notices for you
  • We forward everything to you right away

State Filing

We set up your company in the state you choose and track everything through to approval. Your state fees are included in the price, with no separate charges to figure out later.

  • File in any of the 50 states
  • State filing fees included, no surprise charges
  • We track your filing through to approval

Business Tax Number

Before you can open a bank account, get paid, or file taxes, you need a business tax number. We take care of the entire application for you, even if you don't have a U.S. social security number.
