Five minutes of questions

State, name, owners, registered agent. Pay in the same sitting. Nothing to book, nothing to print.

2

You watch the status live: received, filed, approved. Questions get a human in 5 minutes.

Your books start themselves

The day the state approves, Ro texts you to connect a bank. You will never do bookkeeping.

Your bill, exactly.

Pick your state. The $49 is the only part that's ours; everything else is the state's, at cost, including what it charges every year after.

You pay today

Invaro prepares and files everything$49
Wyoming filing fee (the state's, passed through at cost)$100
Total today$149

The $49 is the only part that's ours. EIN and operating agreement are included; the IRS charges nothing for an EIN.

To keep it alive after year one

Wyoming report fee, every year$60
Ongoing, per year$60

The $60 is Wyoming's minimum annual report; it can be higher with large in-state assets.

List prices, August 2026. States change fees; the wizard re-quotes at cost before your card is charged, and the deadline lands on your compliance calendar the day you form. Invaro plans are separate and start with 3 months of Business free once you connect a bank.

Know before you file.

The short course. Everything a first-time founder asks, in plain words.

What an LLC actually does for you

It separates the business's debts from your personal ones: if the company owes money or gets sued, your house and savings are not on the table, as long as you keep business and personal money separate. That separation is the whole point, and clean books are how you keep it. Taxes stay simple: profits land on your personal return unless you later elect otherwise.

Registered agent, explained

The person or company at a street address in the filing state who receives legal mail for the business. In your home state you can be your own agent for free, and most small businesses are. Pick a commercial agent ($25 a year, at our cost) if you form out of state or want your home address off the public record.

Home state or Wyoming?

If you live and work in one state, form there: it is simpler and avoids registering twice. Wyoming makes sense when you want owner privacy, a $60 annual report, and no state income tax on the entity, and it is the usual pick for founders outside the US. Forming in Wyoming while operating elsewhere usually means registering in both states, so it is not a tax trick for most people.

Your EIN, in three minutes

The EIN is the company's tax ID, and the IRS issues it free. With an SSN or ITIN it takes one online sitting; without one (non-US founders), the IRS only takes the form by fax and it takes a few weeks, and we handle that paperwork with you. Either way, it is the one thing you need before a business bank account, and anyone charging for the EIN itself is charging for a free form.

What it costs after year one

The state charges a yearly report fee to keep the company alive: Wyoming $60, most states $20 to $150, California a flat $800 franchise tax. Your compliance calendar carries the date from the day you form, so it never sneaks up. The $49 is once; we make our money if you keep your books here, which is also why the filing is cheap.

The first five things after approval

Open a business bank account with your EIN and articles. Sign the operating agreement. Connect the bank to Invaro so the books run from day one. Keep every business expense on the business account. That is genuinely the whole list; the annual report is on your calendar already.

What's the catch?

No catch on the filing: $49 plus the state's fee is everything, and if the state's fee has changed when we file, we refund or collect the difference. The 3 free months of Business start when you connect a bank, because books with no bank are not books.

Is this legal advice?

No. We prepare and file documents at your direction, the same way every online formation service does. We do not advise on whether an LLC is right for you or how to split ownership. Complicated situation? Talk to a lawyer first; we will still be here to file it.

The company takes a day. The books take care of themselves.
