State Filings

State Filings: LLC and S-Corporation filing in the United States

State Filings is a document preparation and filing service focused on forming Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) in the United States. The company presents itself as support for completing the registration application with the corresponding Secretary of State and obtaining the LLC registration, which is delivered by email. The site expressly states that it does not provide legal, financial, or accounting advice, that it is not affiliated with attorneys or accountants, and that it does not professionally review the information submitted by the client.

Formation process

The workflow described on the site begins with selecting the state in which you wish to incorporate the company. Next, the user completes the application, pays the state fees, and receives the incorporation. The service also mentions subsequent steps such as opening the business and hiring employees. The company states that it assists the client in choosing the business name, appointing a registered agent, and filing the Articles of Organization.

Scope and limitations of the service

The company describes its activity as a document preparation and filing service, not as professional advice. It notes that it is not affiliated with the Secretary of State or any governmental agency, and that its LLC formation service has not been approved or endorsed by any governmental agency. For legal questions related to forming an LLC, the site recommends consulting with an attorney or law firm.

Managing the company after formation

In addition to the initial formation, the service catalog covers recurring obligations and subsequent filings: annual reports, amendments, dissolution, certificates and certified copies, as well as electing S-Corporation status using Form 2553. The company also offers drafting the Operating Agreement, a document that outlines the operational and governance aspects of the LLC even if the state does not require it.
