Tell us about your business

Plain questions, in your language. We check the exact spelling with the state before anything is filed.

What does the business do?

Who owns the business

The state's formation document asks for at least one owner's name and address (a member of an LLC, or an incorporator or shareholder of a corporation). Add the rest later if there's more than one.

Number of owners

Primary owner's full legal name

This owner is

Mailing address

This becomes public record in the state's business registry (Sunbiz in Florida), same as any LLC or corporation. You can list a business or mailing address instead of your home address. Our registered agent address (next step) only covers the registered agent role.

Your registered agent

Every state requires every LLC and corporation to keep one: a person or company with a real street address in the state, available during business hours, to receive lawsuits and official mail.

Our address, not yours, is listed as your registered agent
Receives legal mail and scans it to you
Included the first year on Complete and Launch; on Essential it is +$49 for the first year. Renews at $129 a year after that, only if you choose to renew

Your federal tax ID (EIN)

The IRS issues this for free. You'll need it to open a business bank account, hire anyone, or file most business tax returns.

The IRS charges nothing for an EIN. Our preparation of the application is included in Complete and Launch; on Essential it is $59.
No SSN? We prepare Form SS-4 for owners outside the US.
Requested right after the state approves your company, so the names match exactly.

How should we handle your filing?

This is about our side: how quickly we submit and follow up. The state's own processing time is set by the state.

How should we deliver your documents?

Your filed documents either way — this is just how you get a copy.

Extras, all optional

Add only what you need. You can skip this step. Our team sets these up by hand after you pay and confirms the timing with you by email.

Legal document package

The documents banks, partners and clients usually ask for, prepared by our team and delivered to your client portal.

Operating Agreement — defines who owns what and how decisions get made; some banks require it to open an account
Banking Resolution — authorizes specific people to manage the business bank account
Contract templates for common business needs
Prepared by hand after you pay; we confirm the delivery date by email. The EIN is not part of this package (see the EIN step)

Legal document packageOperating Agreement, Banking Resolution and contract templates. Your EIN request is separate. $99

Business license research

An LLC alone doesn't cover every permit your specific business might need to legally operate.

We check federal, state, county and city requirements for your specific business type
You get a report listing exactly what to apply for and where
You're the one responsible for actually holding the right licenses — this is the research, not the filing

Business license researchWe identify the federal, state and local licenses your business needs. $99

Virtual mailbox

The state's public record shows your LLC's address to anyone who looks it up. This is how you keep that from being your home.

A real street address, not a PO box. Some banks do not accept virtual mailbox addresses, so check with yours
Mail is scanned and made available in your client portal, nothing to pick up in person
$29 covers the first month. Our team sets it up with you after you pay; later months are confirmed with you first, never charged automatically

Virtual mailboxA business mailing address you can list on your filing instead of your home address. $29 covers the first month. Nothing renews automatically: we confirm with you, and you see the price, before any later month. $29

Website essentials

A domain, hosting and a professional inbox — the three things that make a business look real online.

A domain in your business's name is what banks, Stripe and PayPal expect to see — not a personal Gmail
Hosting keeps a website online — bring your own site or build one with us later
A professional inbox ([email protected]) looks more credible to customers and suppliers than a personal email

Domain registrationA .com (or similar) in your business's name, registered for one year. $20 Web hostingFor a website you already have or bring yourself. $15 covers the first month; later months are confirmed with you first, never charged automatically. $15 Business emailA professional inbox at your own domain (e.g. [email protected]). $6 covers the first month; later months are confirmed with you first, never charged automatically. $6
