3. What does your "One and Done" pricing mean? Are there any recurring fees?

Our "One and Done" pricing means you pay a single, transparent fee for the specific service you need, such as forming an anonymous LLC. We do not charge mandatory monthly or annual subscription fees. However, please note that some states require separate annual report fees or franchise taxes, which are your responsibility. We can often assist with these filings for an additional service fee if needed.

In addition, if after the first year of us providing services to you, you wish us to continue to provide monitoring & representation services for state reminders and federal and state tax assistance, these services can be arranged separately from business formation services. Feel free to contact us through our Contact Form (link) or through secure communications.

Business Formation & Anonymous Filing

4. What is "anonymous filing," and why is it beneficial?

Anonymous filing (or privacy filing) is a method of forming an LLC where the names and addresses of the true owners are not listed on public state records. Instead, a third-party nominee or manager represents the company. The benefit is enhanced privacy, asset protection, and reduced exposure to spam, scams, and unsolicited contact.

5. Which state is best for my business: Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, or Texas?

The "best" state depends on your specific goals:

·       Delaware: Preferred for corporations, strong case law, and investor-friendly courts.

·       Wyoming & Nevada: Offer strong privacy protection and no state corporate income tax.

·       New Mexico: Provides anonymity by default, as it does not require member/manager names in filings.

·       Texas: A strong, reputable state that allows privacy through nominee managers.

·       We can help you evaluate based on your business type, location, and privacy needs.

6. What information is required to start an anonymous LLC filing?

You will typically need to provide:

·       Your desired LLC name (we will check availability).

·       The business purpose.

·       Your contact information (kept private with us).

·       Information for the registered agent.

·       Details for the nominee manager/officer who will appear on the public record.

7. How long does the business formation process typically take?

Processing times vary by state. Expedited filing is available in most states, which can reduce the time to a few business days. Standard processing can take 4 to 20 business days. We will provide a specific timeline based on your chosen state and service level at the start of the process.

8. Do you handle obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) as part of the filing?

Yes. Our on-staff Enrolled Agent, is authorized by the IRS to act as your third-party representative. We can file for your EIN on your behalf as part of our comprehensive Absolute Minimum filing package, ensuring it's done correctly and securely.

Tax & Compliance Services

9. What does it mean that you are a Licensed Enrolled Agent, and how does it benefit me?

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally-licensed tax practitioner who has unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. This means we can prepare and file your business (LLC’s & S-Corporations) and personal tax returns, handle IRS communications, audits, and appeals on your behalf. An EA is also permitted to handle specific issues before the Financial Crimes & Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for taxpayers. It is the highest credential awarded by the IRS, ensuring you receive expert guidance.

10. What tax filing and support services do you provide?

We provide Federal and State Tax preparation and E-filing services (separately from business registrations services) for businesses (LLC’s & S-Corporations) and individuals. Our support includes tax planning, preparation, submission, and representation in case of any inquiries or audits from tax authorities.

13. How do you help businesses stay compliant with state and federal regulations?

With over 20 years of experience, we actively monitor compliance deadlines for our clients. This includes tracking due dates for annual reports, franchise taxes, business license renewals, and informational tax returns. We provide reminders and can manage the filing process for you to prevent penalties and maintain good standing.
