Benefits of Forming an LLC
A limited liability company (LLC) is a business structure that can help separate your personal assets from the business's debts and obligations. It pairs the liability protection of a corporation with the simple tax treatment and paperwork of a sole proprietorship or partnership. An LLC can have one owner or many; owners are called members.
- Can help protect personal assets: Business debts and lawsuits generally stay with the business, not your personal savings or home, when the LLC is run as a separate business.
- Pass-through taxes: By default profits are taxed once, on the owners' returns, not at the company level.
- Less paperwork: Fewer formalities and reporting requirements than a corporation.
- Credibility: A registered business name customers, vendors, and banks take seriously.
- Easier banking and financing: Open a business bank account and build business credit in the company's name.
- Flexible ownership: One owner or many, run by the members or by a manager you appoint.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Liability protection depends on keeping business and personal affairs separate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take?+
We submit standard orders to the state within 3 business days. Expedited filing adds same-day submission: ordered by 2 PM Eastern on a business day, submitted to the state that day (later orders, the next business day). After that, approval time is set by the state: some approve online filings within a day, others take a few weeks. We email you the moment it's approved.
Do I need a registered agent?+
Yes, every state requires one: a person or company with a street address in the state, available during business hours to receive lawsuits and official mail. You can be your own for free.
What do I receive?+
Your state-approved formation documents (articles of organization or the state's equivalent) by email, plus a private order page to track every step.
What if my name isn't available or the state rejects the filing?+
We check name availability before filing. If the state still rejects it, we fix and refile at no extra service fee. If it's rejected because of our error and we can't get it filed, we refund our fee.
