Business Formation & Compliance, Simplified

pitfalls

Most founders don’t want to become experts in entity types, state rules, or registered agents. With FormaNew, you don’t have to. We standardize on a single, proven path and do the filings for you - so you can start selling faster and stay compliant without juggling vendors.

What FormaNew does for you (by default)

  • Entity: We form an LLC (no pick-list or legal maze).
  • State: We file in a pre-selected, online-business-friendly jurisdiction optimized for privacy, cost, and simplicity.
  • Registered Agent: We choose and connect a reputable, affordable registered agent on your behalf and manage renewals.
  • Filings: We prepare and submit the state formation documents for you; approved documents land in your workspace automatically.
  • Compliance: We track deadlines and help you file ongoing reports - no guesswork, no calendar spelunking.

No state selection. No agent shopping. No paperwork rabbit holes. You focus on building; we handle the formation rails.


The streamlined FormaNew lifecycle

1) Formation, fully handled

  • We create your LLC in our optimized state.
  • Your Articles and Certificate are stored in a secure Document Vault.
  • Need more than one company later? Add another LLC from the same workspace.

2) EIN & tax ID setup

  • Guided EIN workflow with status tracking.
  • Your company profile auto-fills where needed across banking and payments.

3) Banking ready

  • A ready-made document pack (Articles, EIN confirmation, Operating Agreement) for bank onboarding.
  • Checklist of exactly what banks ask for, kept in one place.

4) Payments turned on

  • KYB (Know Your Business) forms pre-filled with your formation data.
  • Unified view of payouts and deposits next to your company records.

5) Online presence that ships

  • Nanomarket: domain + website + simple commerce—no-code, fast launch.
  • Client portals & contracts: proposals, signatures, deliverables, and receipts in one place.
  • Developer Pro (optional): deploy apps/APIs with integrated Jamstack hosting.

6) Licenses, sales tax & local steps

  • Industry- and location-aware licensing checklist.
  • Sales tax basics and pointers to register where appropriate.
  • Store every approval alongside your formation docs for audit clarity.

7) Ongoing compliance (the part that usually bites)

  • Compliance Timeline per company with due dates for annual reports, agent renewals, and any state obligations.
  • File from inside FormaNew; keep confirmation receipts in your Document Vault.

Why we default everything (and why that helps)

  • Speed: Standardizing on LLC + a proven filing state removes weeks of indecision and doc churn.
  • Clarity: One path means fewer forms, fewer errors, and fewer “did I miss something?” moments.
  • Cost predictability: We pick a state and agent model that keeps both formation and annual maintenance costs sane.
  • Scale: Managing multiple companies is straightforward when each follows the same, optimized playbook.

What you still personalize

You still control:

  • Business name (we run availability checks and offer alternatives if needed)
  • Domain & brand (connect or buy a domain, set your site/storefront)
  • How you sell (client services, digital products, subscriptions, etc.)
  • Operational tools (contracts, portals, storefront, or dev hosting—use what you need)

We lock in the incorporation; you shape the business on top.


Quick start checklist (all inside FormaNew)

  1. Enter your company name & owner details
  2. Review & approve formation summary (we handle state, RA, filing)
  3. Get your EIN
  4. Open a business bank account (use the auto-generated doc pack)
  5. Enable payments
  6. Launch your site/storefront or client portal
  7. Knock out any local licenses
  8. Let the Compliance Timeline track your renewals

Common pitfalls we eliminate

  • State paralysis → We standardize on a great default state
  • RA shopping & renewals → We choose and manage the agent for you
  • Paperwork drift → Central Document Vault with export-on-demand
  • Missed annual filingsCompliance Timeline + guided filings
  • Broken KYB flows → Pre-filled profiles reduce back-and-forth
  • Tool sprawl → Formation, payments, site, contracts—one login

Multiple companies, one brain

If you add a second (or third) LLC later, FormaNew tracks each entity’s deadlines independently. Documents, compliance, payments, and sites stay neatly separated - but managed from the same account.


Not legal or tax advice

FormaNew gives you clean rails to form and operate, but we’re not your attorney or CPA. If you need specific guidance, your organized records make professional conversations faster and cheaper.


Launch the right way - without the research marathon

FormaNew forms your LLC, chooses the state and registered agent, files everything on your behalf, and keeps you compliant - so you can spend your time building the business, not learning the filing system.
