US business setup for small businesses
Open your US business without the paperwork maze
State registration, EIN, licenses, a bank account, business email: each step depends on the one before it. We prepare and coordinate all of it in the right order, so you can start serving customers sooner. We're not a law firm or a CPA, and we bring in licensed professionals where you need one.

Start serving customers sooner
Steps done out of order cost weeks: a bank that won't open the account, a license that needs the EIN first. We line them up so nothing waits on something missed.
Look established from the first quote
A registered company, a business email at your own domain and branded quotes and invoices tell customers they're dealing with a real business.
Fewer forms on your desk
We prepare the paperwork and tell you exactly where to sign, so you spend your time on customers, not on agency websites.
Ready for everything that comes next
Your name, address and phone set up the same way everywhere, so your website, Google profile and bank account all match from day one.
What's included
State registration
We walk you through the choices, like the business name and the state, prepare the formation filing and follow it until it's approved.
EIN
We get your Employer Identification Number from the IRS. You need it for the bank, for hiring and for taxes.
ITIN application
For owners without a US Social Security number, we prepare the ITIN application with you. You sign it, and the IRS processes it.
City business license
We prepare your city or county business license application and walk you through filing it.
Industry license paperwork
If your work needs a state or professional license, we prepare the file and coordinate steps like background checks. You sign and submit it.
Registered agent
We help you choose and set up a registered agent: the in-state address that receives official mail for your company.
Business bank account
We put together the documents banks usually ask for and guide you through opening the account.
Insurance and bond coordination
We refer you to a licensed insurance agent and coordinate with them, so the coverage or bond you need is in place.
Quote and invoice templates
Branded templates for quotes and invoices, ready to fill in and send from your phone.
Domain and business email
A domain registered in your company's name and an address like you@yourcompany.com. The email provider's yearly fee is separate and itemized up front.
What's not included
We prepare and coordinate the setup. Advice that requires a license comes from licensed professionals.
Legal advice
We're not a law firm. Questions like which entity type fits you or what goes in your operating agreement go to an attorney, and we coordinate with them.
Tax and accounting advice
We're not a CPA. Tax elections, bookkeeping and tax returns belong with your accountant; we make sure they have what they need.
Licensing exams and signatures
We don't take licensing exams for you or sign and submit applications on your behalf. Approval is up to the agency that issues the license.
Selling insurance
We don't sell or underwrite insurance or bonds. A licensed agent does, and we coordinate with them.
Government fees
State, city and license fees are paid by you, directly to the agency, and itemized up front.
What makes us different
One point of contact for every step
State, IRS, city, bank and insurance agent: you deal with one team that knows where each step stands.
In your name from day one
The company, the domain, the email and every account are registered to you, never to us.
Official fees itemized up front
You see every government and provider fee before anything is filed, and you pay those directly.
Honest about approvals
We never promise that an agency will approve an application. We promise a complete, careful file and updates until there is an answer.
How long it takes
The core setup usually takes 1–3 weeks; most of the wait is state processing and the bank. Licenses and ITIN applications follow each agency's own timeline, which can be longer.
- Days 1–3
Map the steps
A call to confirm your business name, state, structure and the licenses your work needs, with your accountant or attorney looped in where needed.
- Weeks 1–2
File
Formation filed with the state and a registered agent in place. Processing time depends on the state.
- After approval
Finish
EIN, bank documents, license paperwork, templates, domain and business email, all in your company's name.
What it costs
You get a clear price for the setup on the call. Government and provider fees are separate and paid by you directly, so you see exactly where your money goes.
We'll give you a clear price on the call, before anything starts.
US business setup questions
Are you lawyers or accountants?
No. We're not a law firm or a CPA firm, and we don't give legal or tax advice. When a decision needs one, we coordinate with a licensed attorney or accountant.
How long does it take to set up my business?
The core setup usually takes 1–3 weeks, mostly state processing and the bank. Licenses and ITIN applications follow each agency's own timeline.
Can I open a US business without a Social Security number?
Yes, many owners do. The IRS steps are a little different, and we prepare your ITIN application if you need one; confirm the tax side with your accountant.
Do you handle business licenses?
We handle the paperwork. We prepare your city business license and any industry license file and coordinate steps like background checks; you sign and submit, and the agency decides.
Do you help with insurance or bonds?
Yes, through a licensed agent. We refer you to one and coordinate with them; we don't sell insurance ourselves.
