FAQ

Common questions

Should I form an LLC or a Corporation?

Most small, owner-operated businesses choose an LLC for its liability protection and simpler taxation. Businesses planning to raise venture capital or issue equity typically choose a C-Corp. We'll walk through your specific situation before you file.

Do I need a registered agent?

Yes — nearly every state requires an LLC or Corporation to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state of formation. It's included in every formation package.

How long does formation take?

It varies by state, from same-day to a few weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline for your state before you file.

Can I form my business in a state I don't live in?

Yes, though if you operate in a different state than the one you form in, you'll typically also need to register as a foreign entity there. We'll help you figure out the right setup.

What happens after my business is formed?

You'll get your EIN, formation documents, and registered agent confirmation, plus ongoing reminders for annual reports and compliance deadlines so your good standing never lapses.
