Common questions
Is forming an LLC really free?
No one can make it fully free, because every state charges a filing fee. "Free" here means Inc Authority charges $0 for its formation service, so your state fee is the minimum you pay.
Which state should I form my LLC in?
Most small businesses form in the state where they operate. Forming elsewhere usually means also registering in your home state, which adds fees.
Do I need a registered agent?
Most states require one. Inc Authority includes registered agent service for the first year; check the renewal terms during checkout.
Do I have to buy any add-ons?
No. Operating agreements, legal document packages and other extras are optional.
