Frequently asked questions
What do the packages cost?
Our fee starts at $99 for Basic, $149 for Standard and $249 for Premium. The state filing fee is separate and set by the state. We confirm both before you pay.
Why does it say “starting at”?
Some situations need extra work, such as unusual names or multiple owners. If your case costs more than the starting price, we tell you before you pay.
What is the difference between Basic, Standard and Premium?
Basic covers the state filing. Standard adds EIN preparation, a standard operating agreement or bylaws template, deadline reminders and phone support. Premium adds an expedited filing request where the state offers it, S-corp election preparation and a tax consultation. The comparison table on this page lists each item.
Is an S-Corp a different kind of business?
An S-corp is a federal tax election that eligible LLCs and corporations can make, not a separate type of state entity. If you pick S-Corp, we form the entity and prepare the election paperwork where your package includes it. Whether it suits you depends on your situation, which we can talk through on a consultation.
Which entity type should I choose?
It depends on your owners, goals and taxes. We are not a law firm and cannot give legal advice. We can talk through the tax side on a consultation, and an attorney can advise on the legal side.
Which state should I form in?
Many owners form where they live and operate. Other choices can involve extra costs and registration elsewhere. We can talk through the tax side on a consultation.
What do I need to start?
A preferred business name, the state, and your contact details. We will tell you what else is needed after reviewing your request.
Will my business name be available?
Names must meet the state’s rules and not conflict with existing entities. We check this before filing and contact you if there is a problem.
Do I need a registered agent?
Most states require one. A registered agent service is not part of our packages. We confirm the requirement for your state and talk through your options after you order.
Do I need an operating agreement or bylaws?
Many owners put one in place, and some states or banks expect it. Standard and Premium include a standard template. It is a legal document, so consider asking an attorney to review it.
Should I send my SSN or bank details on the order form?
No. The form only asks for your name, email, phone and business details.
Who pays the state fee?
The state charges its own filing fee, separate from ours. We confirm the exact amount before filing.
How do I pay?
After we confirm your state fee, we email you a payment link that shows the total (our package fee plus the state fee). You pay it all in one online payment, processed by Stripe. We do not see or store your card number.
How will I know it was submitted?
We email you when the filing is submitted, with the state’s confirmation details when available.
Is FlowTex a law firm?
No. FlowTex is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We prepare and submit filings you ask us to prepare.
