LLC formation for
software founders.

$150 + state fees. 5 minutes to complete. We handle formation, compliance, and everything in between so you can get back to building.

5 minutes to start  ·  $150 + state fees  ·  Everything included

Setting up a business should take minutes, not weeks.

You shouldn't need a lawyer, an accountant, and three browser tabs just to get started.

You just want to build.

You have an idea and you're ready to go. But before you can open a bank account, accept payments through Stripe, or bring on a co-founder, you need a legal business entity. That means paperwork, government websites, and hours of Googling which state to pick.

Most services make it harder.

Every state has different rules, different forms, and different fees. And most formation services add to the confusion - they advertise $0 to get you in the door, then charge $79 for the EIN, $99 for the operating agreement, and $249/yr for the registered agent. By the time you check out, you're paying $400+.

It doesn't end after setup.

Once your business exists, there are annual reports, franchise taxes, and agent renewals. Miss one and your business can lose its good standing - or worse, get dissolved. Nobody warns you about this part.

One package. Everything you need.

$150 to set up your business. From $2/mo year 1 to keep it compliant. Here's exactly what's included.

Your Setup Package
All included for $150

Business registration

We file everything with your state to make your business official. You just pick a name and answer a few questions.

Operating agreement

A legal document that defines how your business works. Ours is written specifically for software companies, not a generic template.

Registered agent

Every business needs a contact person on file with the state. We handle that for you so your personal address stays private. Included with formation.

Tax ID number (EIN)

You need this to open a bank account, set up Stripe, hire people, and file taxes. We apply for it with the IRS as part of your setup.

Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Ready-to-use templates for your software business. Privacy policy is CCPA/GDPR-aware. Most services don't include these at all.

Ongoing Compliance
From $2/mo year 1 or $100/yr

Annual report filing

Every state requires annual or biennial filings to keep your business active. We file them for you - no forms to fill out, no deadlines to remember.

Registered agent renewal

Your registered agent keeps your home address off public records. We renew it automatically each year as part of your annual plan - no separate bill.

Compliance monitoring & alerts

Franchise taxes, state reports, certificates of good standing - miss one and your business can lose good standing. We track every deadline and handle it for you.

Post-formation guidance

A step-by-step checklist built for software founders: business bank account, Stripe setup, sales tax, IP assignment, insurance. We walk you through everything you need to do after formation.

Honest pricing

$150 to start. From $2/month year 1 to stay compliant.

No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons at checkout. Formation is a one-time $150 payment plus state filing fees. Compliance is just $2/month year 1 (or $3/month with registered agent). After year 1, $10/month or $15/month.

Real example

Delaware LLC for a Florida founder

Forming in Delaware but operating in Florida? Here's the true all-in cost.

Foreign LLC filing service$150 extra
EIN application$79 extra
Operating agreement$99 extra
Registered agent (year 1)$249 extra

And still no software-specific documents.

You save $427+ with QuickBiz - and get more included.

Both totals include the same $215 in state fees (Delaware $90 + Florida $125). The difference is what each service charges on top.

Full refund guarantee

If we haven't submitted your paperwork to the state yet, you get a full refund. No questions asked. Once filed, state fees are non-refundable (that's the state, not us).

Three steps. Five minutes. Done.

We made this as simple as possible so you can get back to what you actually want to be doing.

01

Tell us the basics

What do you want to call your business? What state? That's basically it. We'll recommend a state if you're not sure. The whole thing takes about 5 minutes.

02

We do everything else

We file your paperwork with the state, get your tax ID from the IRS, set up your registered agent, and generate all your legal documents. Processing takes 1-2 business days in Delaware, 3-5 in Wyoming, and varies by state. You don't have to do anything - we'll update you along the way.

03

You're good to go - and we stay with you

Your business is official. Open a bank account, start accepting payments, hire contractors - you're ready. Our compliance plan (from $2/mo year 1) handles annual report filing, compliance monitoring, and deadline alerts. Need registered agent renewal? The Full Service plan ($3/mo year 1, then $15/mo) covers that too. Nothing sneaks up on you.

Why people use QuickBiz.

We built this because we were tired of the same experience everyone else was offering.

Everything in one package

Other services charge extra for the tax ID, the operating agreement, and the registered agent. We include it all for $150. No surprise add-ons at checkout.

Built for software founders

Your operating agreement covers IP ownership, software subscription terms, and digital assets. Your compliance checklist covers Stripe, sales tax, and contractor agreements. Not generic templates - built for how you actually work.

We stay with you after formation

Annual reports, franchise taxes, agent renewals - miss one and your business can lose good standing. From $2/mo year 1, we handle all of it. You get a compliance partner, not a PDF and a good luck email.

Any state. We help you choose.

Not sure where to form? We ask a few questions and recommend the state that fits your situation - including whether you need a foreign LLC registration. All 50 states + DC supported.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about forming your LLC with QuickBiz.

Everything you need to legally set up your business: we register it with your state, get your tax ID number from the IRS, create your operating agreement (designed for software businesses), set up a registered agent so your home address stays private (year 1 included), give you Terms of Service and Privacy Policy templates, store all your documents in a dashboard, and track your compliance deadlines going forward. State filing fees are separate and shown before you pay.
