About Founder Primer
These primers explain LLC formation and upkeep state by state, and name the services we would use.
Scope
Three primers for every state (forming an LLC, the registered agent and registering in another state), three overview pages and three nationwide lists of the services we recommend.
Who we are
An editorial team writes the primers and scores the services. None of it is legal advice.
How we earn money
Founder Primer is reader-supported. We may earn money when you buy through links on this page, and the companies we rank are our partners. Prices come from each company's own pages and official state sources.
