Find answers to common questions about business formation, compliance, and our services.

Formation Questions

How long does it take to form an LLC?

Processing times vary by state, but typically range from 1 day (expedited) to 7-10 business days (standard processing). We'll keep you updated throughout the process.

What's included in the formation package?

All packages include articles of organization filing, registered agent service for the first year, and electronic document access. Higher-tier packages include additional services like operating agreements, compliance monitoring, and business tools.

Do I need a registered agent?

Yes, all LLCs and corporations are legally required to have a registered agent in the state where they're formed. Our registered agent service is included in all packages.

Pricing & Billing

What are state fees?

State fees are filing fees charged by the state government to process your LLC formation. These fees vary by state and are separate from our service fees.

When will I be charged?

You'll be charged when you complete your order. State fees are paid directly to the state when we file your documents.

Do services renew automatically?

Some services, like registered agent service and compliance monitoring, renew annually. We'll notify you before renewal so you can decide whether to continue.

Compliance & Ongoing Services

What is Worry-Free Compliance?

Worry-Free Compliance is our service that monitors your compliance requirements and sends you reminders for important deadlines, like annual reports and tax filings.

Do I need an operating agreement?

While not always legally required, an operating agreement is highly recommended. It defines how your LLC operates, outlines member rights and responsibilities, and helps protect your personal liability protection.

What happens after my LLC is formed?

After formation, you'll receive your formation documents electronically. You may need to get an EIN from the IRS, open a business bank account, and obtain necessary business licenses. Our team can help guide you through these next steps.
