Business Formation

Which business structure should I choose?

The right structure depends on your ownership plans, liability concerns, and tax goals. Most new owners choose an LLC, while companies planning to raise capital often choose a corporation. We will walk you through the practical differences so you can make an informed decision.

How long does formation take?

Processing time depends on the state and the filing method. Many states process standard filings within a few business days, while others take several weeks. Expedited and rush filing options are available for an additional fee.

Do I need an EIN?

Most businesses need an EIN to open a bank account, hire employees, or file taxes. EIN assistance is $75 and is included free with our formation packages.

Can Scillan form my business in another state?

Yes. We provide formation and foreign qualification support nationwide.

 

Registered Agent

What does a registered agent do?

A registered agent receives legal notices, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your business at a physical address in the state where you are registered.

How much is registered agent service?

Registered agent service is $149 per year and includes service of process acceptance, secure digital document delivery, compliance notifications, and state correspondence management.

Can I change my registered agent to Scillan?

Yes. A change of registered agent filing is $99 plus the state fee, and we prepare and submit the filing for you.

Compliance

What happens if I miss an annual report deadline?

Missing a deadline can result in late fees, loss of good standing, and in some cases administrative dissolution. Scillan tracks your deadlines and files on your behalf so this does not happen.

What is a Certificate of Good Standing?

It is a state-issued document confirming your entity is active and current on its filings. Banks, lenders, and other states often request it. We obtain it for $75 plus the state fee.

My entity was administratively dissolved. Can it be reinstated?

In most cases, yes. Entity reinstatement starts at $399 plus state fees and typically requires past-due filings and fees to be brought current.

 

Pricing and Payments

Are state filing fees included in your prices?

No. Scillan service fees and state filing fees are listed separately so you always know what you are paying for. State fees vary by state and entity type.

Do you offer packages?

Yes. Our Starter ($349), Professional ($599), and Premium ($899) launch packages bundle formation with registered agent service, documents, and compliance support. State filing fees are not included.
