Conventional process vs. our platform
Forming a U.S. company usually means coordinating several disconnected steps yourself. Here is exactly what changes when it is coordinated for you.
LLC or C-Corp?
| Aspect | LLC | C-Corp |
|---|---|---|
| Taxation | Pass-through — profits are taxed once, on the members' own returns. | Double taxation — the corporation pays tax, and dividends are taxed again. |
| Structure | Simple, member-managed. | Formal — board of directors, shares, minutes. |
| Best for | Service providers, e-commerce, freelancers, consultants. | Startups seeking venture capital or angel investment. |
The conventional process — six separate steps
- Search the state's own portal yourself to check if the name is available.
- Separately hire and pay a Registered Agent.
- Manually file the Articles of Organization (LLC) or Articles of Incorporation (C-Corp).
- Manually draft an Operating Agreement or Bylaws.
- Apply for an EIN — instantly online if you have an SSN or ITIN; otherwise, a manual Form SS-4 sent by fax to the IRS, waiting for a reply by letter or fax.
- File a Beneficial Ownership Information report with FinCEN.
None of these steps is individually hard — the delay and human error usually come from coordinating six disconnected owners, not from any single step.
Our platform — one coordinated flow
- Sign up and upload your ID in minutes.
- Automatic document validation triggers your identity verification.
- Your name is checked and the state filing is submitted for you.
- Your EIN is requested — instantly if you have an SSN or ITIN; automatically prepared and sent to the IRS if you don't.
- We capture the IRS reply and verify it before it's recorded on your company.
You never need to know there are several integrations behind the scenes — it's one flow, from your point of view.
Typical timelines
| State | Filing (conventional) | Filing (platform) | EIN without SSN (conventional) | EIN without SSN (platform) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming | 3-5 business days | Same day | 10-20 business days | 3-7 business days |
| Delaware | 10-15 business days | 1-3 business days | 10-20 business days | 3-7 business days |
For a founder without an SSN or ITIN, that's roughly 15-35 days the conventional way, cut to about 4-10 days end to end.
State filing fees (paid to the government, not to us) are typically around $100 for Wyoming, and around $110-$169+ for Delaware depending on share count. The exact price and any platform fee are always shown before you pay — never estimated at checkout.
What makes this different
- One integrated pipeline — no separately-contracted registered agent, EIN broker, or e-signature tool to manage yourself.
- Automated EIN issuance for founders without an SSN or ITIN, end to end.
- Built for White Label from day one — accountants, lawyers, and agencies can resell under their own brand.
