Everything it takes to open, as one price.

Yes. Every state lets you file your own formation, the IRS issues EINs free, and nothing here is legally restricted to a firm. What you would be taking on is the sequencing: choosing the right filing for your situation, getting the registered agent in place, working out which licences and certificates your specific business and county require, then building and hosting the website, printing the cards and setting up the profiles. People who enjoy that and have the time genuinely should do it themselves. People who would rather open and start selling hire us.

Business owners usually weigh where they actually operate and have a physical presence, the formation and ongoing costs in each state under consideration, whether they would end up registered as a foreign entity in their home state anyway, and the ongoing obligations such as annual reports or franchise taxes. Which state and which entity type are right for you is a legal and tax question, and it depends on facts about your situation that an attorney or a CPA is the right person to weigh. We do not advise on it. We file where you direct us.

Then you do not need the formation part, and you should not pay for it. Tell us what you already have and we will quote the parts you actually want — commonly the website, the social profiles and the registered agent service. The bundle price assumes we are forming the entity.

It varies more than people expect. Some states clear a standard filing the same day; others run several weeks, and the same state can be fast in one month and slow in the next. We tell you the state's current published processing time before you pay, and we do not promise a turnaround we do not control. The parts we do control — the website, the cards, the profiles — proceed while the filing is with the state.

State and local filing fees, which are billed to you at cost rather than marked up, and which generally run between $50 and $500 depending on the state. Ongoing state obligations such as annual reports or franchise taxes are also yours and continue for as long as the company exists. Anything beyond the monthly scope is quoted and approved by you before any work starts.

The monthly service has a 12-month minimum and then runs month to month with 30 days' notice. Two things matter on the way out. Your domain and your content are yours from day one, and the site files transfer on request once the 12 months are paid. And because the monthly fee includes your registered agent, cancelling ends that service — you must appoint a replacement agent with your state. That is a legal obligation and the state will not let the company sit without one, so we would rather you hear it now than at cancellation.

You do, from day one. The domain is registered to you, the content is yours, and the site files transfer to you on request once the first 12 months are paid. We do not hold a client's domain as leverage.

Yes — all 50 states and DC. Most clients never meet us in person and the whole engagement runs by phone and email. If you are in Broward and Palm Beach, you are welcome to come in and sit down instead.

It is the person or company your state sends official mail to — service of process, tax notices, compliance letters. Every state requires one with a physical street address in that state, and a PO box does not qualify. If you form in a state you do not live in, you cannot be your own agent there. The bundle covers it for the first year and the monthly fee covers it after that.

The monthly service continues month to month at the same price until you tell us to stop, with 30 days' notice. Nothing renews for another fixed term, and the price does not step up at month 13.
