What type of business are you forming?

Most small businesses choose LLC. Not sure? LLC is the safest bet for liability protection and tax flexibility.

LLC
Most popular. Flexible taxes, liability protection, simple to manage.
S-Corp
Save on self-employment tax if you pay yourself a salary. Max 100 shareholders.
C-Corp
For raising investment, issuing stock, or going public. Double taxation.
Nonprofit
Tax-exempt organization for charitable, educational, or religious purposes.

Where will you form your business?

We recommend forming in the state where you live and do business.

What's your business name?

Choose a unique name for your business. We'll check availability with the Secretary of State.

Must include "LLC", "L.L.C.", or "Limited Liability Company" for LLCs.

Business Details

Tell us about your business. This information is used in your formation documents.

Most LLCs use "any lawful purpose" — it's broadest and doesn't limit you.

Member-Managed
All owners run the business. Best for small LLCs.
Manager-Managed
One or more designated managers run operations. Good for investor LLCs.

Registered Agent

Every LLC needs a registered agent — a person or company with a physical address in the formation state who can receive legal documents on behalf of your business.

I'll Be My Own Agent
Use your own name and address. Must be a physical street address in the formation state (no PO boxes). You must be available during business hours.
