Answers to what clients most often ask before and during an engagement.
Company Formation
We work with clients across all US states. The right state depends on where your business actually operates — we'll walk through that with you during a consultation rather than defaulting to a single "popular" state.
No. Non-US residents can form a US LLC. There are some additional considerations around banking, EIN application, and tax filing that we'll cover with you directly.
Yes. We handle US LLC formation and UK Limited Company (LTD) formation, and can advise on how the two relate if you're operating in both markets.
Typically your intended business name, business activity, owner/member details, and your preferred state (or help choosing one). We'll confirm exactly what's needed during your consultation.
Documents
Your formation certificate (Articles of Organization or equivalent), and — depending on the service you choose — an operating agreement, EIN confirmation letter, and any resolutions prepared for your entity.
Yes, operating agreement drafting is part of our Business Documentation service, tailored to whether your LLC is single-member or multi-member.
Digitally, as PDF files, sent to the email address on file for your engagement.
Processing Time
This depends heavily on the state — some process filings in a few business days, others take several weeks. We'll give you a realistic estimate for your specific state before you commit.
IRS EIN processing times vary, particularly for non-US resident applications, which can take longer than the standard timeline. We'll flag this upfront if it applies to your situation.
Payment
We'll confirm accepted payment methods when you book a consultation, based on your location and the service selected.
Payment terms are communicated clearly before any engagement begins — we don't start filing work without agreed scope and pricing in place.
Compliance
Consequences vary by state, ranging from late fees to eventual administrative dissolution of the entity. If you're on our compliance tracking service, we'll reach out ahead of any deadline to avoid this.
Both. Our Company Compliance service covers annual/biennial reports, renewal tracking, and general good-standing maintenance after formation.
