Honest about what we don't do

TrueFormed handles state-level formation and compliance filings that register, maintain, or modify your business with your Secretary of State and the IRS.

We don'thandle federal or state income tax returns, sales tax, payroll, local business licenses, or industry-specific permits. A CPA handles your taxes. Your city or county clerk handles local licenses. If we see something in your setup that needs an outside professional, we'll tell you plainly.

Wholesale, not retail

Every formation site you've heard of relies on a handful of national registered agent networks that do the actual filing work. Most brands mark those wholesale rates up 3–5x. We pool our customer filings to qualify for wholesale pricing and pass it straight through.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need an LLC?+

If you're doing business — freelancing, consulting, selling products, running a side hustle — an LLC separates your personal assets from your business liabilities. It also gives you tax flexibility and professional credibility. Most business owners should have one.

How is $89 possible when ZenBusiness charges $199?+

Every formation site you've heard of relies on a wholesale registered agent network to do the filing work — none of them build and staff 50-state physical infrastructure themselves. Most brands mark those wholesale rates up 3-5x. We pool our customer filings to qualify for wholesale pricing and pass the rate straight through to you. That's how $89 works.

Why is Year 1 cheaper than RA renewal?+

The formation bundle includes the first year of Registered Agent service at acquisition pricing. Year 2 onward is $99/year for RA, which funds the platform — the document vault, deadline tracking, support, and everything else. It's still half of what ZenBusiness or LegalZoom charge for the same service.

Will I get real documents?+

Yes. Every filing is prepared and verified before submission, and you receive executed copies of all documents — state-stamped formation papers, your EIN confirmation letter, and a complete compliance record. These are the same official documents you'd get from any traditional service.

What are state filing fees?+

Every state charges a fee to file formation documents. These fees range from about $50 to $500 depending on the state and are the same regardless of who submits the form. We collect state fees at checkout and remit them to the state on your behalf at cost — no markup.

What is a registered agent?+

Every LLC and corporation is required by law to have a registered agent — a person or company at a physical address in your state who can accept legal documents on your behalf. Our formation bundle includes the first year; after that, RA service is $99/year.

What happens after I form my LLC?+

We track your annual report deadline and handle the filing when it comes due ($99 + state fee). All state mail is scanned to your document vault. You'll get deadline reminders and can file amendments or order Certificates of Good Standing any time.

What don't you handle?+

We don't handle federal or state income taxes, sales tax, payroll, local business licenses, or industry-specific permits. Those belong to a CPA and your city or county clerk. We're upfront about our scope — no 'all-in-one compliance' promises we can't keep.

Can I switch from ZenBusiness, LegalZoom, or another provider?+

Yes. Change of Registered Agent is free through us — you only pay the state fee if your state charges one. We file the paperwork, update the state, and take over your mail.

Any auto-renewals or hidden fees?+

No auto-renewals. Before your RA year expires, we send reminders and you choose whether to renew. No hidden fees — every price is on the pricing page, and our costs page shows how the wholesale model works.
