Business formation FAQs, answered by FormLLC

FormLLC coordinates the company details, state filing and services in your selected scope. LLC packages include EIN application support and first-year registered-agent coordination. Corporation formation is quoted separately. Review the actual inclusions before authorizing work.

Generally, yes. Many states allow non-U.S. owners of an LLC. State rules, business activity and the owners’ circumstances still matter. Company ownership does not itself grant immigration status or determine your tax and banking eligibility.

Consider ownership, management, investors, equity plans and tax treatment. FormLLC offers filing support for both, but the right structure depends on your facts. Use the business-structure guide to prepare questions for a qualified legal or tax adviser.

Start with where the company will operate, not just the advertised filing fee. Offices, employees, regulated activities and other connections can create obligations outside the formation state. Compare the complete first-year and recurring costs before deciding.

No. A preliminary name search is different from an approved reservation or formation filing. State naming rules apply, and entity-name availability does not establish trademark rights. Keep alternative names ready for review.

The Starter LLC plan is $399 with the Wyoming state fee included. Standard and Registration-To-Revenue include the state fee for the state you choose and add specified services. Corporation formation has a separate custom quote. Confirm optional work, renewals and third-party charges in your written order.

The current Starter scope lists LLC formation preparation and state submission, first-year registered-agent coordination, EIN application support, an operating-agreement template and digital records, plus initial compliance orientation. State fees and later recurring work are separate unless your order says otherwise.

No. The banking-readiness document checklist is included from the Standard LLC plan, currently $599 in the state you choose, state fee included. It is not a bank account or an approval guarantee. Check your selected plan or separate quote for the included work.

The two stages can have different timelines. State review, corrections, missing information and the IRS application route affect progress. Ask about the current dependencies for your request; an inquiry or payment does not guarantee an agency completion date.

Not having an SSN does not automatically prevent an EIN application. The responsible party’s eligibility and location affect which IRS application method can be used. An appropriate Form SS-4 route may be needed. FormLLC can help organize the information for the applicable path.

Yes. The IRS does not charge for issuing an EIN. Any FormLLC service fee covers the application assistance in your agreed scope, rather than a government EIN charge.

They serve different purposes. Registered-agent coverage handles the official notices within its scope at the designated in-state address. It does not automatically provide a general mailbox or an address acceptable for every bank, tax or licensing use.

No. Formation, recurring state reports, registered-agent renewal, licenses and tax returns are separate tasks. The applicable obligations depend on the entity, ownership, activity and jurisdictions. Identify who handles each task and its deadline after formation.

Use your assigned client account or the published contact channel. Include your company name, state, service and a non-sensitive order reference if available. Explain the update you need without sending full tax identifiers, passwords or payment details.

No. The public contact form is for general questions. Sensitive records belong only in the protected workflow assigned to your service. Ask FormLLC to confirm the correct route if you are unsure where a document should go.

Contact FormLLC promptly with the service and change requested. Whether a change, cancellation or refund is available depends on the order, work already performed, official charges and applicable terms. An inquiry alone does not cancel an agency filing or stop a deadline.

No. Agencies, banks and other providers make their own decisions. FormLLC assists with the authorized service; individualized legal and tax decisions should be reviewed by appropriately qualified advisers. Confirm the actual service limits before proceeding.
