● How it works

Six steps, in the order banks and the state actually need them

Most guides list these in the wrong order. We track them in the sequence that lets each step unlock the next.

  1. 01

    EIN

    Get your federal tax ID from the IRS — free, and first.

  2. 02

    Operating Agreement

    Define ownership, management, and what happens on exit.

  3. 03

    Registered Agent

    Pick who receives legal notices at a physical address.

  4. 04

    State Filing

    File your Certificate of Organization with the state.

  5. 05

    Bank Account

    Open a business account with your EIN and filed docs.

  6. 06

    Tax Election

    Decide how the LLC is taxed before the deadline passes.

Everything after the paperwork, in one place

Forming the LLC is the easy part. Keeping it in good standing is where most investors slip.

A checklist that knows the order
One dashboard tracks exactly where each business stands, step by step, so you never file out of sequence.
Encrypted document vault
Your EIN letter, operating agreement, and IDs, encrypted at rest and locked behind two-factor authentication.
Compliance reminders that stick
We calculate your biennial report deadline the moment your filing is recorded and remind you by email (and text, if enabled) before it's due.
