Frequently asked questions

LLC or corporation — which should I choose?+

It depends on taxes, ownership, and your goals. We provide general guidance, but this isn't legal advice; consult a professional for your specific situation.

Do you act as my registered agent?+

Registered agent service may be offered in the future. For now, you provide a registered agent and their consent during intake.

How long does formation take?+

Processing time depends on the state and its current workload. We share expected timelines during review.
