LLC FAQs

Honest answers to the most common LLC Questions

What are the benefits of forming an LLC?

An LLC (Limited Liability Company) helps protect your personal assets if your business runs into legal or financial trouble. It also makes your business feel more “official” in the eyes of clients, banks, and partners — plus, it keeps things simple at tax time.

How much will my LLC cost, all-in?

SimpleCorp services start at $249 flat, with no surprise fees. That includes your filing, Registered Agent, Statement of Information, and support. The state also charges a separate filing fee, which is included in final price. No markup, no upsells.

How long does it take to form my LLC?

Most LLCs are filed same-day or next-business day once we get your info. We know speed matters — that's why it's called SimpleCorp.

What’s the difference between LLC and a Corp?

Both protect your personal assets, but LLCs are easier to run, with fewer rules. Corporations (especially S-Corps or C-Corps) have more paperwork and tax rules. Most solo owners and small teams choose LLCs to start. We’ll help you figure out what fits best.

Can I form an LLC in another state?

If your business is in a different state than where you live, you can still form it there. Just keep in mind, you might need to pay taxes in your home state or register your business as a “foreign entity” to stay compliant. We’re here to help you navigate these steps smoothly!

Do I really need a Registered Agent?

Yep — all states requires every LLC to have one. A Registered Agent is the person (or company) who receives legal or government notices for your business. Good news: we include this free for your first year.

What happens after I submit the form?

You’ll get a quick confirmation, and we’ll get to work same-day. We handle the paperwork, send updates as we go, and deliver your official documents by email (and optional kit by mail). It’s that easy.

What makes SimpleCorp different from others?

We’re small business-focused, fast, and personal. No upsells. No fine print. Just your LLC filed right — with real human support, free compliance services, and a 100% accuracy guarantee. Other sites make you upgrade just to get a Registered Agent. Ours is built in.

Do I need a business license too?

Maybe! LLC formation is step one. Depending on your city or industry, you might also need a local business license. We’ll remind you of that in your welcome email and point you to the right place to check.

📘 Frequently Asked Questions

❓Do I need an LLC or a Corporation? What’s the difference?
This is one of the most common questions. An LLC is usually simpler and more flexible — great for small businesses, freelancers, or partnerships. A Corporation offers more structure and might be better if you're planning to raise money or issue shares. If you're unsure, we can walk you through it or connect you with someone who can help.
❓What exactly does the state require — and what do I actually need to stay compliant?
In California, you're required to file your formation paperwork, submit a Statement of Information within 90 days, and stay on top of annual filings and taxes. You'll also need a Registered Agent with a California address. We help handle all of that, so you don’t miss anything.
❓How long does it take to form my business?
For standard filings, it usually takes about 2-5 business days depending on the state’s processing times. If you're in a hurry, we offer rush and same-day filing options too. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
❓Will I need anything else after forming my LLC or Corportion?
Yes — most businesses also need an EIN from the IRS, a business bank account, and an operating agreement or bylaws. If you go with our All-In Bundle, we take care of those steps too, so you’re ready to operate right away.
