Question 1

Why do I need an LLC to get business grants?

Accepted Answer

Most federal, state, and private business grants require you to be a registered business entity (LLC, Corporation, or DBA). Without one, you only qualify for personal grants and scholarships — about 5% of available funding. With an LLC, you unlock SBA grants, state economic development funds, minority/woman-owned business programs, and industry-specific grants worth $35K–$85K on average.

Question 2

How long does LLC formation take?

Accepted Answer

The form takes about 15 minutes to complete. State approval typically takes 2–10 business days depending on your state. Some states (Delaware, Nevada, Wyoming) approve same-day for an extra fee.

Question 3

What does the $149 cover?

Accepted Answer

It covers our service fee for preparing and filing your Articles of Organization, generating your custom Operating Agreement, helping you obtain an EIN from the IRS, and a free year of registered agent service. State filing fees ($35–$500 depending on state) are separate and paid directly to the state.

Question 4

Do I need an LLC or a Corporation?

Accepted Answer

For 90% of solo founders, freelancers, and small business owners, an LLC is the right choice — simpler, lower cost, and pass-through taxation. Corporations make sense if you plan to raise venture capital or issue stock. Our wizard helps you decide.

Question 5

What are the tax benefits?

Accepted Answer

LLC owners can deduct home office (up to $5K–$10K/year), mileage and vehicle costs ($3K–$8K/year), business meals, phone, internet, equipment, software, and more. Most LLC owners save $10K–$23K/year in taxes vs. operating as a sole proprietor.

Question 6

Will my home address be public?

Accepted Answer

By default yes — state filings are public record. We offer a virtual business address ($9.95–$19.95/month) that keeps your home private and provides a professional address for your registered agent.

Question 7

What if I'm not in the US?

Accepted Answer

You don't need to be a US citizen or resident to form a US LLC. Foreign founders are welcome — Wyoming and Delaware are popular choices because they don't require you to live in the state.

Question 8

Can I cancel after I start?

Accepted Answer

If you haven't paid the state filing fee yet, yes — full refund. Once we've submitted your filing to the state, the state fee is non-refundable but our $149 service fee is refundable for 7 days.
