What happens once you pay

  • Filed within one business day of your order
  • A specialist reads your order first. If anything looks wrong, we email you before filing, not after.
  • Rejected by the agency? We fix it and file again at no charge.
  • If we cannot get it filed at all, you get everything back, including the government fee.
  • Track it in your account with your email address. There is no password to invent.

State processing after that is the agency's queue, which runs from same day to a few weeks depending on where you are filing. We do not control it, so we do not promise a date for it.

Payment is handled by Stripe. Nothing is filed until payment clears, and government fees are refunded in full if we cannot file.

Filed in a day. One flat price. Nothing you didn't ask for.

  • Filed within one business day

    One tier, one speed, every order. There is no rush fee here because there is no slow lane to buy your way out of.

  • A specialist reads every filing

    Prepared and checked by someone who files these all day. If your name or address will not clear the state, you hear from us before it goes in.

  • Registered agent at $99, only if you want one

    The lowest published rate of the five services we compare, sitting beside a free option to name yourself. Most people never need to buy it.

  • One price, and nothing starts on its own

    $100 to form, $50 flat for every filing after. The only thing that can renew is a registered agent you chose, at the price you chose it for. No tiers, no trial that turns into a charge.

North Carolina questions

$200 to the North Carolina Secretary of State. Our fee to prepare and file it is $50, so $250 in total.

Late consequences are set by North Carolina and range from a penalty to administrative dissolution, which means the state stops recognising your company until you fix it. The cost of being late is always higher than the cost of the report, and reinstatement is a separate filing with its own fee. We do not publish a penalty figure for every state because those change without notice; the North Carolina Secretary of State publishes the current one.

The report is about the company existing, not about what it earned. A dormant LLC with no revenue owes the same report as a busy one for as long as it is registered. If you are done with the company, dissolving it is what stops the obligation.
