Company formation: cost and what is needed

What a US LLC or C-Corp costs through Vibiz (in cents), what a draft needs, and who may file.

Open as .md

vibiz_company catalog lists every US state with its state fee per entity type, plus Vibiz's service_fee_cents and expedite_fee_cents. All amounts are in cents: fees { llc: 11000 } is $110.00. The price of a filing = state fee + service fee (+ expedite fee if the EIN is expedited); vibiz_company catalog with state (e.g. "DE") returns quotes that add them up. The registered agent is included at no extra fee. Vibiz's service fee is service_fee_cents (14900 = $149.00 today) and the expedited EIN fee expedite_fee_cents (0 today); the state fee is the state's own. The catalog is the source of truth: quote from it, never from memory.

Vibiz is not a law firm and gives no legal or tax advice: say so when the user asks which entity or state to choose, and let them decide.

What a draft needs

vibiz_company draft; read problems for what still blocks submit.

  • entity_type (llc or c_corp) and state: the owner chooses.
  • 1–3 names in order of preference, without the ending (LLC / Inc.).
  • industry (from the catalog) and a short description (at most 50 characters).
  • business and mailing address: your own, or use the registered agent's (included, no extra fee).
  • people: name, email, address with phone; LLC ownership_percent summing to 100; C-Corp roles (president, secretary, treasurer, director) and shares; one responsible_party for the EIN.
  • the responsible party's SSN/ITIN is given by a person in the console or vibiz company, never through an agent.

Development and production

Development (the default for agents) runs the whole flow for free: nothing is filed, nothing is charged (submit, then simulate formation / ein). A real filing is submitted and paid by the owner (console or vibiz company submit, which shows the price first and asks them to type the company name).
