Services & fees
Three engagements. Fixed fees. Nothing discovered at the invoice stage.
Every engagement below states what is delivered, how long it takes and what is not included. State filing fees are set by each state, payable to the state, and billed at cost on top of our fee.

Timelines
These are the ranges we work to. Where a state or the IRS runs long, you hear it from us before you notice it yourself.
10 to 15 days
From complete file to registered entity, depending on the state's own processing queue.
3 to 5 business days
Full digital pack delivered after the state confirms registration.
About one week
Filed by phone, since online issuance is not available without an SSN or ITIN.
What is not included
State fees
Filing fees and annual report fees are set by each state and payable to it. We quote the exact amount for your chosen state before you commit, and bill it at cost.
Tax filings in your country of residence
Your domestic return, social contributions and foreign-account declarations remain your obligation. We flag what is due and, where useful, coordinate with a qualified professional in your jurisdiction — mobilised case by case.
ITIN applications
An ITIN is not required to form an LLC or to obtain an EIN. Where your situation calls for one, it is handled as a separate engagement.
Legal representation
We are not a law firm and do not act as counsel. Where a matter requires representation, we say so and stop.
How the engagement runs
It starts with a conversation, not a payment link. You describe where you are resident, where your clients are and what you sell. If a US LLC is the wrong instrument for that picture, we say so and explain what we would look at instead — that call costs nothing and happens before any quote.
If it fits, you receive a written quote with the fee, the state fee, the timeline and the deliverables. Once accepted, you have one named advisor throughout: filings, EIN, banking, and the compliance calendar that tells you what falls due and when. The registered agent is a national operator covering all fifty states, under a formal partnership.
