Operating agreement included. No upsell gauntlet.
Attorney-backed formation from a real law firm.
No upsell maze. Other services use LLC formation as a funnel to sell you a dozen add-ons at checkout. We include the operating agreement because an LLC without one is incomplete. We offer registered agent service because it's useful, not because we need to inflate your cart.
Freelancing, flipping, consulting, creating — if money is changing hands, an LLC separates your business risk from your personal life. This is the most common reason people form an LLC, and it doesn't need to be complicated.
Real estate investors, multi-entity operators, people who want a parent LLC to own other LLCs — holding companies are a strategy, not a luxury. We'll set up the structure so it actually does what you think it does.
You're not generating revenue yet, but you're signing contracts, talking to co-founders, building product. An LLC now means your IP, agreements, and early equity have somewhere to live.
If you're an established foreign company expanding into the US from a country with strong trade relations, we can help you set up a US entity. This isn't for brand-new businesses — it's for companies with an existing track record that need a real US footprint.

Every LLC needs a registered agent. You can be your own — but then your home address is on public record and you need to be available every business day during business hours.
Our subsidiary Undisclosed Company provides registered agent service built around privacy. Your personal address stays off public filings. Legal documents get handled. You stay focused on your business.

An LLC doesn't protect you just because it exists. You need to treat it like a separate entity — separate bank account, sign contracts in the company's name, don't commingle funds. We'll teach you the habits that make the liability shield real.
Your brand name, logo, content, and processes can all be intellectual property worth protecting. We'll help you understand what you have, what's worth registering, and how to build an IP portfolio that adds real value to your business.
After formation: EIN, bank account, bookkeeping setup, first contracts. We'll give you the roadmap so you're not Googling "what to do after forming an LLC" at midnight.
Starting a business? This is the best time to lock down your brand.
Trademark RegistrationWithout one, your state's default LLC rules apply — and they probably aren't what you want. An operating agreement defines ownership, control, what happens when someone leaves, and how money moves. Banks often require one to open a business account. It's not optional, it's foundational.
Every LLC needs a registered agent — someone who can receive legal documents on behalf of your company during business hours. You can be your own, but then your home address is on public record and you need to be available every business day. Our subsidiary Undisclosed Company provides privacy-focused registered agent service so your personal address stays off the record.
Usually your home state. Delaware and Wyoming get a lot of hype, but forming in a different state means you'll likely need to register as a foreign entity in your home state anyway — paying fees in two states instead of one. There are real reasons to form elsewhere, but "someone on Reddit said Delaware" isn't one of them. We'll tell you if your situation actually warrants it.
For most small businesses and side gigs, an LLC is simpler and more flexible. Corporations make sense when you're raising institutional venture capital or planning to go public. If you're reading this page, you probably want an LLC — but we'll flag it if your situation calls for something else.
Depends on the state. Some states process filings in a few days, others take weeks. We file as soon as we have your information. If your state offers expedited processing, we'll let you know the option.
You'll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS to open a bank account and file taxes. This is separate from the LLC formation itself. We can walk you through it — it's free from the IRS and takes minutes if you're a US person.
No catch. Most online formation services strip the operating agreement out so they can upsell it as an add-on. An LLC without an operating agreement is like a house without a foundation — technically standing, but you wouldn't want to live there. We include it because it would be irresponsible not to.
