Questions, answered

Which state should I form my business in?

Most owners form in the state where they actually operate, which avoids paying fees in two states. Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada are common choices for companies raising outside investment or holding assets.

How long does formation take?

We prepare and submit your documents within one business day. After that, timing depends on your state's office, which ranges from same day to about two weeks. Every state page lists its current processing window.

What is a registered agent, and do I need one?

Every state requires a registered agent with a physical address in that state to receive legal notices. Our agent service is included with the Essential and Complete plans.

Is this a law firm?

No. We are a document filing service, not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice. The Complete plan includes a consultation with an independent attorney in your state.

What happens after my business is approved?

You get your filed documents, EIN, and an operating agreement in one dashboard, plus reminders for annual reports and franchise taxes so your company stays in good standing.
