Your business,
made official
Set up your LLC or C-Corp in any state.
We do the paperwork, get your tax ID and handle your legal mail.
Why it matters
Why form a company?
It's how a side project becomes a real business, with its own name, its own bank account and room to grow.
Look professional
An LLC or Inc. after your name shows customers you're here to stay.
Keep things separate
Your personal assets generally stay separate from business debts.
Open more doors
Some licenses and marketplaces ask for a registered business.
Your tax ID (EIN) lets you
Open a business bank account
File your business taxes
Hire people and run payroll
Apply for licenses and business credit
How it works
Answer a few questions. We handle the rest.
Skip the government forms. We prepare your documents, file them with the state, get your business tax ID (EIN) and keep you posted along the way.
Always know where things stand
See each step as it happens, from submitted to filed to tax ID issued, right in Durable.
Your tax ID, quickly
With a U.S. tax number, like a Social Security number, the IRS usually sends your EIN in 1–2 business days. Without one it takes longer, and you can choose a faster option.
Sign in a click
If the IRS needs your signature, sign right in Durable or send it to a co-owner to sign.
LLC or C-Corp
Pick the right setup for your business
Most small businesses choose an LLC: it's simple to run and helps protect your personal assets. Raising money from investors? A C-Corp lets you sell shares. We explain both before you choose.
Taxes that fit
By default, an LLC's profits pass through to your personal tax return, while a C-Corp files and pays its own.
Add your co-owners
List everyone who owns a share, wherever they live. We put them on your documents exactly as you enter them.
The right paperwork
For an LLC: Articles of Organization and an Operating Agreement. For a C-Corp: Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. We prepare them all.
Your name
Name it. Add a backup or two.
Tell us the name you love, plus a couple of backups. We file them all together, in your order, so there's no waiting between tries.
Up to three choices
List them in order. If your first pick is taken, a backup keeps things moving.
Always a way forward
If all three are taken, we'll email you to pick new ones, and we file them right away.
Pick how it ends
Choose how your name ends, like LLC or Inc., and that's how it appears on your documents.
Any state, from anywhere
Form in any state. Live anywhere.
Most owners pick the state they live or work in. Live outside the U.S.? You can still start a U.S. company.
¿En qué estado desea constituir su empresa?
All 50 states and D.C.
Pick your state and we handle its filing. You pay the state's fee at cost, with no markup.
From anywhere in the world
You can still start a U.S. company and get a tax ID (EIN). We send you the one extra form the IRS asks you to sign.
An address in your state
Every state requires an official address there for legal mail. Ours is included, as your registered agent.
Registered agent
Legal mail, handled
Every state requires a registered agent: an official address that receives legal and government mail for your business. Ours is included, and we scan your government mail straight into Durable.
Included with your plan
Registered agent service comes with your formation and renews each year.
