Price questions
Is the state filing fee included?
Yes. Each price includes the state’s filing fee, your EIN, the first year of registered agent service and the operating agreement. There’s nothing extra to pay the state in year one.
Do I have to pay the yearly fee?
The yearly costs are what US law requires to keep an LLC in good standing. Every LLC must have a registered agent, and a single-member LLC owned by a non-resident must file Form 5472 with the IRS each year. Wyoming also charges an annual report fee. You can use another provider for these, but you can’t skip them.
Will the rupee price change before I pay?
The rupee amount follows the day’s exchange rate. Once you pay, your price is locked.
What if you can't form my LLC?
If we can’t file your LLC, we refund our service fee. Bank or Stripe refusals aren’t refundable, because those decisions are made by the bank and Stripe. Read the full refund policy.
