Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to form an LLC?
Processing times vary by state. It can take anywhere from a few business days to several weeks. We offer expedited filing options in many states to speed up the process.
Do I need a business address to form an LLC?
Yes, you need a physical street address in the state where you're forming your LLC. This is for your Registered Agent, who receives official mail on behalf of your business. P.O. boxes are not permitted for this purpose.
What is an Operating Agreement?
An Operating Agreement is an internal document that outlines the ownership structure and operating procedures of your LLC. It's highly recommended for all LLCs, especially those with multiple members, to prevent future disputes.
What is an EIN and do I need one?
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is like a Social Security number for your business. You'll need one if you plan to hire employees, open a business bank account, or file certain tax returns. We can obtain one for you from the IRS as part of our service.
