A note from our founder
I started StartGlobal because pricing in this industry is built to confuse you. A big "$0" on the homepage, then a checkout that piles on the registered agent, the EIN, the operating agreement, the annual report, and a dozen "recommended" extras. By the end, you have no idea what you actually signed up for.
So we did the opposite. One honest formation fee with the state fees included, then ongoing compliance you can pay for piece by piece or hand off entirely. If we can't explain a charge in one sentence, it doesn't belong on your bill.
All in your $399 formation.
Each of these is a separate line item at most providers. With StartGlobal, every one is included in formation.
No fine print, just answers.
How much does StartGlobal cost?+
Formation is $399 one-time, with all state and government fees included. After that, stay compliant a la carte (registered agent $99/year, annual report $299/year, plus bookkeeping and federal tax filing priced by your transactions and revenue), or choose Managed LLC at $149/month to have everything handled for one flat price.
What is included in the $399 formation?+
Everything to form your LLC: a name check, state filing with the state fee included, your first year of registered agent, your business tax number application, and help opening a US business bank account. No surprise charges at checkout.
Do I have to pay $149/month?+
No. Managed LLC at $149/month is optional. If you prefer, pay only for the ongoing services you need, a la carte, starting at $99/year for a registered agent.
How are bookkeeping and tax filing priced?+
A la carte, bookkeeping is priced by your transaction volume and federal tax filing by your revenue, so you only pay for your actual activity. On the Managed LLC plan, both are included at any volume or revenue for the flat $149/month.
Are there hidden fees?+
No. Formation is $399 all-in with state fees included. A la carte services each show their own price, and Managed LLC is one flat $149/month with no per-service charges or revenue tiers.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. The Managed LLC plan and a la carte services have no contracts and no lock-in. Cancel anytime.
