Form Your LLC Online with Confidence

To register an LLC online, choose your formation state and LLC name, appoint a registered agent, provide the required business and management information, pay the state filing fee, and submit the formation document. With Swyft Filings, you complete an online questionnaire and we prepare, review, and submit the formation document. The state makes the final approval decision.

The total cost depends on your formation state, Swyft package, and any optional services or expedited processing you select. The Basic package has a $0 Swyft Filings service fee, but every order still includes the mandatory state filing fee. You will see the selected charges before submitting the order.

You generally cannot complete state LLC registration without paying the required government filing fee. Swyft Filings' Basic package has a $0 formation service fee, so you pay the state fee and any optional products or services you choose. This is why the accurate offer language is $0 service fee plus state fees.

There are two timelines: Swyft processing and state review. Current Swyft processing is 7-10 business days for Basic, 3 business days for Standard, and as fast as 1 business day for Premium after a complete order is received. The state then reviews the filing on its own schedule.

No service can promise instant state approval in every state. Premium offers Swyft processing in as little as 1 business day for a complete order. Some states offer same-day or expedited review for an additional state fee, while others do not.

You may be able to form in a state other than where you live, but the lowest initial filing fee may not produce the lowest total cost. If you operate in another state, you may need foreign qualification, a registered agent, reports, taxes, and fees in both places. For many small businesses, forming in the home state is the most practical option.

Yes. You can generally prepare and submit the formation document directly to the state if you understand its requirements. An LLC filing service can save administrative time by guiding the information collection, preparing the document, reviewing the order for common issues, submitting it, and organizing approved documents.

An LLC generally must maintain a registered agent in its formation state. The agent receives official notices and legal documents and must meet state address and availability requirements. You may be able to serve as your own agent if you qualify, or you can hire a registered agent service. State rules vary.

An LLC agreement usually refers to an LLC operating agreement. State requirements vary, and not every state requires one to be filed or adopted. Even when it is not mandatory, an operating agreement can document ownership, management, voting, distributions, and procedures for major changes.

Download and store your approved formation documents first. Then check whether your state requires an initial report, publication, business license, tax registration, or another filing before you begin operating. You may also need an operating agreement, a business bank account, and a system for tracking annual reports and renewal dates.
