Why FormLLC
Why U.S. founders choose FormLLC
Formation is not a checkout item. It is a chain of legal, tax, filing, recordkeeping, and operational decisions. Our process makes each one visible before it becomes expensive to change.
How our operating model works
Clarity before commitment
Scope, exclusions, government fees, timing dependencies, and renewals are identified before authorization.
Security by design
Public inquiries, sensitive onboarding, tax intake, and payments follow distinct protected workflows.
Compliance after formation
Recurring state, federal, registered-agent, license, and governance obligations stay visible.

Your formation questions
Business formation FAQs for U.S. founders
Answers about starting an LLC or corporation, costs, state choice, registered agents and EINs.
How do I start an LLC in the USA?
Choose the state, usually where the business operates, and a name the state will accept. Appoint a registered agent, file the formation document with the state, then get an EIN and adopt an operating agreement. FormLLC coordinates these steps for you.
How much does it cost to form an LLC?
FormLLC plans are a base price plus your state's filing fee: Starter $299, Standard $1699 and Registration-To-Revenue $2499 + State filing fees. In Wyoming that is $399, $1,799 and $2,599. Later costs, such as registered agent renewal and annual reports, are shown before you pay.
Should I form an LLC or a corporation?
An LLC often suits owner-operated businesses that want flexible management. A corporation is common when you plan to issue shares to investors. Tax treatment differs, so review the choice with a tax adviser before filing.
Which state should I form my company in?
Most small businesses form in the state where they operate. Forming elsewhere, such as Delaware, can mean also registering as a foreign entity in your home state, with a second set of fees and filings.
Do I need a registered agent?
Yes. Every state requires an LLC or corporation to keep a registered agent with an address in that state to receive official notices. FormLLC plans include first-year registered agent coordination.
How do I get an EIN for my LLC?
If the business is based in the U.S. and the responsible party has an SSN or ITIN, the IRS online application can issue an EIN immediately once approved. The IRS charges no fee; FormLLC supports the application as part of your plan.
How quickly will my company be formed?
FormLLC can prepare an authorized filing promptly, but approval depends on the state, its current workload and any corrections. We give an estimate for your state; we do not guarantee an agency date.
Is the state filing fee included?
The state filing fee is added to the plan's base price, for the state you choose: in Wyoming, Starter is $399, Standard $1,799 and Registration-To-Revenue $2,599, state fee included. Later charges, such as yearly state fees, taxes and optional services, are listed in your order summary.
