Real questions from real entrepreneurs. No corporate jargon, just honest answers.
No, most small businesses don't need a dedicated compliance officer. That's corporate jargon for large companies. As a small business owner, you just need to keep basic records, file annual reports, and maintain your registered agent. We handle the complex compliance requirements so you can focus on growing your business.
That's exactly why we created Corppy! Traditional services bury you in legal jargon and confusing documents. We translate everything into plain English and guide you through each step. Our AI assistant explains what each document means and why you need it, so you never feel lost in the legal maze.
The state filing fee is typically $90-$500 depending on your state. Many companies add hundreds in "processing fees" and upsells. Our price is $99 + your state fee - that's it. No hidden costs, no surprise charges, no expensive add-ons you don't need. We believe in transparent, honest pricing.
Absolutely! You can file directly with your state. However, most people find the process confusing and time-consuming. You'll need to research requirements, download forms, mail documents, and follow up on processing. For $99, we handle everything correctly the first time and provide ongoing support - saving you weeks of hassle.
Once your LLC is approved (usually 1-5 business days), you can start operating immediately. You'll need to get an EIN from the IRS (we help with this), open a business bank account, and get any required licenses for your specific industry. Most people are fully operational within 1-2 weeks of starting the process.
Don't worry - that's what we're here for! Our AI assistant catches common mistakes before they happen, and our expert team reviews everything before filing. If something does go wrong, we'll fix it at no extra charge. We've processed thousands of registrations, so we know how to handle any situation that comes up.
You can use your home address for most business types, but you'll also need a registered agent address (which we provide). Many entrepreneurs start from home and upgrade to a commercial address later. We'll help you understand the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation.
Most states require an annual report (simple form + small fee) and maintaining your registered agent. Keep business and personal finances separate, maintain basic records, and file appropriate tax returns. We provide ongoing support and reminders so you never miss important deadlines.
