See the tableCompany name check
The state rejects filings whose name is already taken. We check first so your filing never bounces.
State filing, prepared and submitted
Filing with the state is what makes your company legally exist. It separates your personal assets from the business and lets you operate, invoice, and sign under the company's name.
Formation documents, digital
Your stamped articles and records, delivered the moment the state returns them. Banks and partners will ask for these.
Compliance deadline alerts
Every state runs its own clock: annual reports, renewals, agent continuity. We flag each date before it is due, so nothing lapses quietly.
EIN (federal tax ID)
The nine-digit number the IRS issues to your company. Without it there is no US business bank account, no payroll, and no tax filing.
Operating Agreement or Bylaws
The internal document that says who owns what and who decides. Banks ask for it at account opening, and it settles member questions before they become disputes.
Registered agent, first year
Every state requires one: a person at a physical in-state address to receive lawsuits and official mail during business hours. If a notice goes unanswered, you can fall out of good standing without ever knowing.
Every package files with a real team behind it. The state's filing fee is added at cost and shown before you pay; anything that renews, like the registered agent after its included first year, renews at the stated rate.
