The first step is to decide in which state you want your business to incorporate in. Next, the legal entity type within that state. There are benefits to each choice and we’ve laid out some information below to help you decide. The most common option is an LLC incorporated in Delaware.
Once we receive your application, we start the process by submitting your forms to the relevant state and federal agencies. We’ll follow up with you and track the progress daily to ensure you get your application processed as fast as possible. Depending on how quickly the state agencies process the registration, you should receive your paperwork back in as little as a week.

A limited liability company is a formal business structure (created as per state law) where the business is legally distinct from the owner(s). It may have a single owner in the case of a Single-Member LLC or multiple owners in the case of a Multi-Member LLC.
An LLC combines the perks of a corporation (protection against personal liability) and a partnership (pass-through taxation). Since the business has a separate legal existence, the members are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the Company.
State laws stipulate how LLCs should be incorporated. Some states require specific documents, such as the articles of organization, membership agreement, etc., to be filed with the authorities.
Formation takes 3-5 business days, and getting an EIN from the IRS usually takes an additional two to three weeks or so.
The cost varies depending on the State you choose to incorporate in and the services you need from us!
An Employer Identification Number is the tax identification number for your organization and a requirement of many banks or institutions (such as the IRS) to carry out business in the US. Once your EIN is acquired, you can apply for business bank accounts and payment gateways.
An Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) can be used as an alternative for a Social Security Number (SSN) in some cases and is not a requirement in most cases. However, you will be required to have one if you wish to apply for a PayPal account or certain bank accounts.
