LLC Formation· LLC Formation
US LLC formation assistance, sequenced for marketplace verification.
Name search, filing, operating agreement and registered agent coordinated in the order marketplace verification will actually need them.
Overview
US LLC Formation, in plain terms.
Forming an LLC is administratively simple and easy to get subtly wrong in ways that surface months later, usually at the point a marketplace asks you to prove who you are.
We coordinate formation with what comes next — EIN, banking, marketplace verification — so the documents agree with each other from the start. This is administrative assistance; entity choice and tax treatment are questions for a licensed professional.
What this service includes
The work itself.
LLC Name Search
Checking availability in the target state and screening for obvious conflicts, including whether the name will cause friction with marketplace brand requirements later.
State Selection
Setting out the common considerations — where you operate, where inventory sits, filing and franchise costs — so you can make the decision, or take it to a CPA with the groundwork done.
Articles of Organization
Preparing and filing the formation document with the state, and tracking it through to a certificate.
Operating Agreement
Preparing an operating agreement from a standard template covering ownership, contributions and management. Have it reviewed by an attorney before execution, particularly with multiple members.
Registered Agent
Arranging registered agent service in the formation state, which most states require and which cannot be a mailbox address.
LLC Filing
Managing the filing process, responding to state queries and obtaining the Certificate of Formation.
Certificate of Formation
Securing the certificate and the supporting documentation marketplaces and banks will ask to see.
Who this is for
Where this earns its fee.
- Sellers who need a US entity before a marketplace will complete verification.
- International sellers entering US marketplaces for the first time.
- Sole traders formalising an existing selling operation.
- Businesses adding a separate entity for a new brand or channel.
Our process
How we run us llc formation
01
Scope
Where you operate, what marketplaces require, and which questions need a licensed professional before anything is filed.
02
Prepare
Name search, document preparation and registered agent arrangement.
03
File
Filing submitted and tracked through to certificate, with state queries handled.
04
Sequence
Handover into EIN application and banking, so the next steps are not delayed waiting on documents.
Why this matters
What it changes commercially.
Marketplace verification compares documents against each other. An entity formed without thinking about how the name, address and bank record will line up creates rejections that cost weeks at exactly the point you are trying to launch.
Formation is also the cheapest stage to get right. Amending a filing, changing a registered agent or restructuring membership after the fact is all possible and all more expensive than doing it deliberately once.
What we optimize
The metrics this is judged on.
Agreed before work starts, so nobody gets to pick a flattering one afterwards.
- Time to certificate
- Days from engagement to a formed entity you can bank and verify with.
- Document consistency
- Whether entity name, address and identity records agree — the main cause of downstream rejection.
- Downstream readiness
- Whether EIN and banking can start immediately rather than waiting on missing paperwork.

Questions
US LLC Formation FAQ

Do you provide legal advice on entity structure?
No. We explain common considerations and handle the filing. Whether an LLC is right for you, and how it should be taxed, are questions for a licensed attorney or CPA.
Is the operating agreement legally reviewed?
It is prepared from a standard template. We recommend attorney review before execution, particularly for multi-member entities, and we will say so every time.
