Frequently Asked Pricing Questions
What will I actually pay — total, to the dollar?
Our flat fee + your state's exact government fee. Pick your state in the ladder and the number you see is the number you pay; nothing else is ever added unless you choose it. That's the No-Surprise Total guarantee.
When can I actually start using my company?
The moment your documents are confirmed: filing in 24–48h, EIN as fast as the IRS allows (we chase it and send proof), banking within week one with our $99 onboarding. If we miss our side's window, Tier 1's Filed-or-Refunded applies.
What happens if a filing is missed — do you pay the penalty?
On filings we track: yes. We pay the state's late fee and fix the filing at our cost (Penalty-Proof Promise). For your 5472 and annual returns on Tier 3: on time or we cover it. Full conditions in the Guarantee Ledger — we publish the fine print, which is the point.
Why are you cheaper than doola ($2,999/yr) or GenZone ($1,999/yr)?
Because we don't hide margin in per-form upsells. One flat fee covers formation → good standing → 5472; the state's fee passes through at cost. Compare what's actually inside each bundle — then ask any competitor to publish a guarantee like ours.
Can I start small and upgrade later? Can I pay from India?
Yes — the ladder is cumulative; upgrade any time and we credit what you paid this year toward the next tier. Pay in USD or INR (UPI/cards); WhatsApp is our home channel; you'll always have one named human.
