Common Questions About Incorporating in California
You have questions, we have answers. If you’d prefer to speak directly with a Business Specialist, please give us a call at (877) 777-0450. We love to help!
How much does it cost to form a Corporation or LLC?
Swyft Filings charges only $49 + state filing fees to incorporate your business. Filing fees vary from state to state. If you have a question about a specific state, feel free to email or contact us at (877) 777-0450.
How long will it take to process my order?
Swyft Filings offers three options for processing the filing of your company. Standard Processing time for an order is 12 - 15 business days. With Swyft Filings EXPRESS Processing Service, your order will be processed within 3 business days. Your documents will be processed before all non-priority orders which allows you to begin operating your business sooner rather than later. With Swyft Filings SAME DAY Processing Service, your order is moved to the front of the line. We will prepare and file your incorporation documents with the Secretary of State the same day your order is placed.
When will my order be processed?
Orders are processed as they are received. However, clients that select Express Processing or Same Day Processing will have their orders processed before Standard Processing orders.
How long does the incorporation process take?
Incorporation times vary from state to state. Feel free to contact us by email or at 877-777-0450 for information on specific state processing times.
Are there a required number of individuals needed to form an LLC?
There is no minimum requirement as to the number of owners (also referred to as members) that an LLC must have. At the federal level, single-member LLCs qualify for pass-through taxation, however this is not always true at the state level.
