You are in control. Formation packages can include optional services or later offers. Ask what each item costs, whether it renews, and whether you need it. You can decline additional products or services.

Questions worth asking

  • Do I want to speak with someone or complete the process online?
  • What is included in the formation price, and what costs extra?
  • Are there recurring fees or automatic renewals?
  • Do I need a registered agent, ongoing filings, or tax registrations?
  • Can I get the services I need without buying a larger package?

Formation is one step

Forming an LLC or corporation does not necessarily cover every requirement for operating your business. Depending on your location and work, you may need licenses, permits, tax registrations, or other filings.

Check the requirements that apply to your business and location before you begin operating.
